Logging Framework
Noun · Development
Definitions
A library that provides a complete logging infrastructure — including logger creation, severity levels, output formatting (text, JSON), handler/appender routing (console, file, network), filtering, and log context propagation. Examples include Log4j and Logback (Java), Winston and Pino (Node.js), and Python's built-in logging module.
In plain English: A ready-made library that gives your application a full system for recording, formatting, and routing log messages to the right places.
Example: "We standardized on Pino as our logging framework because its JSON output and low overhead play nicely with our ELK stack."
