Provides log back encoders, layouts, and appenders to log in JSON and other formats supported by Jackson. Supports both regular LoggingEvents (logged through a Logger) and AccessEvents (logged via logback-access). Originally written to support output in Logstash's JSON format, but has evolved into a highly configurable, general-purpose, structured logging mechanism for JSON and other Jackson data forms. The structure of the output, and the data it contains, is fully configurable. The general composite JSON encoders/layouts can be used to output any JSON format/data by configuring them with various JSON providers. The Logstash encoders/layouts are really just extensions of the general composite JSON encoders/layouts with a pre-defined set of providers. The logstash encoders/layouts are easier to configure if you want to use the standard logstash version 1 output format.
