C++, Java and C# light-weight-logger

This is a library I've been working on with versions for C++, java & C# where you make custom formats and Log based on them, for example you could make an ERROR Like this: [ERROR] [date, time-stamp, time-zone] (file:thread-ID:line) but you would write it like this: // define the master format master_style = "%C[%N]%c%S%G[%D %T %Z]%c %M %G(%F:%t:%L)"; // tell the logger what colour to use for a given name logger.add_format("ERROR", master_style, Colour::RED); so now the [ERROR] part will be red, the time area will be grey, and the location grey, but you could really make…

In plain words

This is a lightweight logging library available for C++, Java, and C#. It lets developers create custom log message formats using a template system with format codes for timestamps, file names, thread IDs, and line numbers. Users define a master format string once, then apply it to different log types with custom colors—for example, ERROR logs in red, SUCCESS in green, and INFO in cyan. The library handles the formatting and coloring automatically based on the defined templates.

  • LogLayer – Unified logger that routes logs to various logging libraries2025 · loglayer.dev · ▲56

    As a longtime TypeScript&#x2F;Node.js developer, I've often faced challenges with logging—choosing, using, and maintaining the right logger for various projects. While most loggers offer the usual methods like "info", "warn", and "error", they vary significantly in how they handle structured metadata or Error objects. This can lead to ad-hoc solutions, like serializing errors or writing custom pipelines, just to get logs formatted correctly. I built LogLayer to address these pain points by introducing a fluid, expressive API. With methods like "withMetadata" and "withError", LogLayer…

    Nanosecond C message logger2019 · ▲131

    Hello, Some time ago I did a data logger for fun, just to check if I could beat the performance of an old C++ project of mine (mini-async-log) and to avoid letting my multithreading-C skills rust when on a non-programming gig (using Yocto&#x2F;OE, very little programming). This project is a BSD licensed, producer-wait-free (when using thread-local storage) generic message logger with high performance, decent test coverage, and type-safe C strings (requires C11 or C++ compiler). It was a shame to let this project to die unknown, as I think that it has potential to be used on some niches as…
