## What it is
XLog is a lightweight, powerful, and flexible logging library for Android and Java. It supports printing logs to Logcat, console, and files, with configurable formatting, filtering, and automatic JSON/XML formatting.

## Use cases
- log messages to logcat and files in an android app
- pretty-print json and xml in logs
- log collections, maps, intents, and bundles directly
- filter logs by level and tag in android
- save app logs to files with backup and cleanup
- customize log formatting and output destinations

## When to choose
- you need a flexible android logger with file output and configurable formatting
- you want automatic formatting of json, xml, and complex objects in logs
- you need log filtering, backup, and cleanup features on android

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for android or the JVM
- you need a distributed or cloud-based logging solution rather than an on-device logger

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: logging
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: logcat, log-to-file, android-logging, json-xml-formatting, android
