zlog is a pure C logging library inspired by log4j/logback, offering categories, formats, and rules configured via a file. It is reliable, high-performance, thread safe, and supports flexible output to files, stdout, and size-limited rotating logs.
Use cases
- add structured logging to a C application
- replace printf debugging with configurable log levels
- rotate log files with size limits
- route different log categories to different outputs
- high-performance multithreaded logging in C
When to choose
- you need a log4j-style logging library in pure C
- you need thread-safe, high-performance logging with file rotation
- you want runtime-configurable log formats and rules via a config file
When to avoid
- you are writing C++ and prefer a native C++ logging library
- you need structured JSON logging out of the box
- your project is not in C or lacks a compatible build environment
