        <p>An Appender uses a Layout to format a LogEvent into a form that meets the needs of whatever will be
          consuming the log event. In Log4j 1.x and Logback Layouts were expected to transform an event into a
          String. In Log4j 2 Layouts return a byte array. This allows the result of the Layout to be useful in
          many more types of Appenders. However, this means you need to configure most Layouts with a ${Charset} to
          ensure the byte array contains correct values.
        </p>
        <p>
          The root class for layouts that use a Charset is <code>org.apache.logging.log4j.core.layout.AbstractStringLayout</code>
          where the default is UTF-8. Each layout that extends <code>AbstractStringLayout</code>
          can provide its own default. See each layout below.
        </p>
        <p>
          A custom character encoder was added to Log4j 2.4.1 for the ISO-8859-1 and US-ASCII charsets,
          to bring some of the performance improvements built-in to Java 8 to Log4j for use on Java 7.
          For applications that log only ISO-8859-1 characters, specifying this charset will improve performance significantly.

        <subsection name="CSV Layouts">
          <p>
            This layout creates <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values">Comma Separated Value (CSV)</a>
            records and requires <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-csv/">Apache Commons CSV</a> 1.4.
          </p>
          <p>
            The CSV layout can be used in two ways: First, using <code>CsvParameterLayout</code> to log event parameters
            to create a custom database, usually to a logger and file appender uniquely configured for this purpose.
            Second, using <code>CsvLogEventLayout</code> to log events to create a database, as an alternative to using a
            full DBMS or using a JDBC driver that supports the CSV format.
          </p>
          <p>
            The <code>CsvParameterLayout</code> converts an event's parameters into a CSV record, ignoring the message.
            To log CSV records, you can use the usual Logger methods <code>info()</code>, <code>debug()</code>, and so on:
          </p>
          <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
logger.info("Ignored", value1, value2, value3);
</pre>
          <p>
            Which will create the CSV record:
          </p>
          <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
value1, value2, value3
</pre>
          <p>
            Alternatively, you can use a <code>ObjectArrayMessage</code>, which only carries parameters:
          </p>
          <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
logger.info(new ObjectArrayMessage(value1, value2, value3));
</pre>
          <p>
            The layouts <code>CsvParameterLayout</code> and <code>CsvLogEventLayout</code> are configured with the following parameters:
          </p>

            The compact attribute determines whether the output will be "pretty" or not. The default value is "false",
            which means the appender uses end-of-line characters and indents lines to format the text. If
            <code>compact="true"</code>,  then no end-of-line or indentation is used, which will cause the output
            to take less space. Of course, the message content may contain, escaped end-of-lines.

        <a name="PatternLayout"/>
        <subsection name="Pattern Layout">
          <p>A flexible layout configurable with pattern string. The goal of this class is to format a LogEvent and
            return the results. The format of the result depends on the <em>conversion pattern</em>.
          </p>
          <p>The conversion pattern is closely related to the conversion pattern of the printf function in C.
            A conversion pattern is composed of literal text and format control expressions called
            <em>conversion specifiers</em>.
          </p>
          <p><i>Note that any literal text, including <b>Special Characters</b>, may be included in the conversion
            pattern.</i> Special Characters include <b>\t</b>, <b>\n</b>, <b>\r</b>, <b>\f</b>. Use <b>\\</b> to
            insert a single backslash into the output.
          </p>
          <p>Each conversion specifier starts with a percent sign (%) and is followed by optional <em>format
            modifiers</em> and a <em>conversion character</em>. The conversion character specifies the type of
            data, e.g. category, priority, date, thread name. The format modifiers control such things as field width,
            padding, left and right justification. The following is a simple example.
          </p>
          <p>Let the conversion pattern be <b>"%-5p [%t]: %m%n"</b> and assume that the Log4j environment was set to
            use a PatternLayout. Then the statements
 <pre>Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("MyLogger");
logger.debug("Message 1");
logger.warn("Message 2");</pre>
            would yield the output
 <pre>DEBUG [main]: Message 1
WARN  [main]: Message 2</pre>
          </p>
          <p>Note that there is no explicit separator between text and conversion specifiers. The pattern parser
            knows when it has reached the end of a conversion specifier when it reads a conversion character.
            In the example above the conversion specifier <b>%-5p</b> means the priority of the logging event should
            be left justified to a width of five characters.
          </p>
          <p>
            If the pattern string does not contain a specifier to handle a Throwable being logged, parsing of the
            pattern will act as if the "%xEx" specifier had be added to the end of the string. To suppress
            formatting of the Throwable completely simply add "%ex{0}" as a specifier in the pattern string.
          </p>

                  %d{UNIX} outputs the UNIX time in seconds. %d{UNIX_MILLIS} outputs the UNIX time in milliseconds.
                  The UNIX time is the difference, in seconds for UNIX and in milliseconds for UNIX_MILLIS, between
                  the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. While the time unit is milliseconds, the
                  granularity depends on the operating system
                  (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463266.aspx">Windows</a>).
                  This is an efficient way to output the event time because only a conversion from long to String
                  takes place, there is no Date formatting involved.

                <p>
                  Add <code>{ansi}</code> to render messages with ANSI escape codes (requires JAnsi,
                    see <a href="#enable-jansi">configuration</a>.)
                </p>
                <p>
                  The default syntax for embedded ANSI codes is:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">&#64;|<em>code</em>(,<em>code</em>)* <em>text</em>|@</pre>
                <p>
                  For example, to render the message <code>"Hello"</code> in green, use:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">&#64;|green Hello|@</pre>
                <p>
                  To render the message <code>"Hello"</code> in bold and red, use:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">&#64;|bold,red Warning!|@</pre>
                <p>
                  You can also define custom style names in the configuration with the syntax:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">%message{ansi}{StyleName=value(,value)*( StyleName=value(,value)*)*}%n</pre>
                <p>
                  For example:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">%message{ansi}{WarningStyle=red,bold KeyStyle=white ValueStyle=blue}%n</pre>
                <p>
                  The call site can look like this:
                </p>
                <pre class="prettyprint linenums">logger.info("@|KeyStyle {}|@ = @|ValueStyle {}|@", entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());</pre>
                <p>
                  Use <code>{nolookups}</code> to log messages like <code>"${esc.d}{date:YYYY-MM-dd}"</code>
                  without using any lookups. Normally calling <code>logger.info("Try ${esc.d}{date:YYYY-MM-dd}")</code>
                  would replace the date template <code>${esc.d}{date:YYYY-MM-dd}</code> with an actual date.
                  Using <code>nolookups</code> disables this feature and logs the message string untouched.

                <p>
                  Outputs the level of the logging event. You provide a level name map in the form
                  "level=value, level=value" where level is the name of the Level and value is the value that
                  should be displayed instead of the name of the Level.
                </p>
                <p>
                  For example:
                  <pre>%level{WARN=Warning, DEBUG=Debug, ERROR=Error, TRACE=Trace, INFO=Info}</pre>
                </p>
                <p>
                  Alternatively, for the compact-minded:
                  <pre>%level{WARN=W, DEBUG=D, ERROR=E, TRACE=T, INFO=I}</pre>
                </p>
                <p>
                  More succinctly, for the same result as above, you can define the length of the level label:
                  <pre>%level{length=1}</pre>
                  If the length is greater than a level name length, the layout uses the normal level name.
                </p>
                <p>
                  You can combine the two kinds of options:
                  <pre>%level{ERROR=Error, length=2}</pre>
                  This give you the <code>Error</code> level name and all other level names of length 2.
                </p>
                <p>
                  Finally, you can output lower-case level names (the default is upper-case):
                  <pre>%level{lowerCase=true}</pre>
                </p>

                </p>
                <p>The pattern can be arbitrarily complex and in particular can contain multiple conversion keywords.
                  For instance, "%replace{%logger %msg}{\.}{/}" will replace all dots in the logger or the message of
                  the event with a forward slash.

                </p>
                <p>
                  The throwable conversion word can be followed by an option in the form
                  <code>%rEx{short}</code> which will only output the first line of the Throwable or
                  <code>%rEx{n}</code> where the first n lines of the stack trace will be printed.
                </p>
                <p>
                  Specifying <code>%rEx{none}</code> or <code>%rEx{0}</code> will suppress printing of the exception.

                <p>
                  Use <code>filters(<i>packages</i>)</code> where <i>packages</i> is a list of package names to

                <p>
                  Use a <code>separator</code> string to separate the lines of a stack trace. For example:
                  <code>separator(|)</code>. The default value is the <code>line.separator</code> system property,
                  which is operating system dependent.

                <p>
                  Use <code>rEx{suffix(<i>pattern</i>)</code> to add the output of <i>pattern</i> to the output only
                  when there is a throwable to print.

          <p>By default the relevant information is output as is. However,
            with the aid of format modifiers it is possible to change the
            minimum field width, the maximum field width and justification.
          </p>
          <p>The optional format modifier is placed between the percent sign
            and the conversion character.
          </p>
          <p>The first optional format modifier is the
            <em>left justification
              flag
            </em>
            which is just the minus (-) character. Then comes the
            optional
            <em>minimum field width</em>
            modifier. This is a decimal
            constant that represents the minimum number of characters to
            output. If the data item requires fewer characters, it is padded on
            either the left or the right until the minimum width is
            reached. The default is to pad on the left (right justify) but you
            can specify right padding with the left justification flag. The
            padding character is space. If the data item is larger than the
            minimum field width, the field is expanded to accommodate the
            data. The value is never truncated. To use zeros as the padding character prepend
            the <em>minimum field width</em> with a zero.
          </p>
          <p>This behavior can be changed using the
            <em>maximum field
              width
            </em>
            modifier which is designated by a period followed by a
            decimal constant. If the data item is longer than the maximum
            field, then the extra characters are removed from the
            <em>beginning</em>
            of the data item and not from the end. For
            example, it the maximum field width is eight and the data item is
            ten characters long, then the first two characters of the data item
            are dropped. This behavior deviates from the printf function in C
            where truncation is done from the end.
          </p>
          <p>Truncation from the end is possible by appending a minus character
            right after the period. In that case, if the maximum field width
            is eight and the data item is ten characters long, then the last
            two characters of the data item are dropped.
          </p>

            conversion specifier.

          <h4>ANSI Styling on Windows</h4>
          <p>ANSI escape sequences are supported natively on many platforms but are not by default on Windows. To
            enable ANSI support add the <a href="http://jansi.fusesource.org/">Jansi</a> jar to your application
            and set property <code>log4j.skipJansi</code> to <code>false</code>.
            This allows Log4j to use Jansi to add ANSI escape codes when writing to the console.
          </p>
          <p>NOTE: Prior to Log4j 2.10, Jansi was enabled by default. The fact that Jansi requires native code
              means that Jansi can only be loaded by a single class loader. For web applications this means the
              Jansi jar has to be in the web container's classpath. To avoid causing problems for web applications,
              Log4j will no longer automatically try to load Jansi without explicit configuration from Log4j 2.10 onward.</p>

          <h5>ANSI Styled</h5>
          <p>The log level will be highlighted according to the event's log level. All the content that follows
            the level will be bright green.</p>

        <h4>Pattern Selectors</h4>
        <p>
          The PatternLayout can be configured with a PatternSelector to allow it to choose a pattern to use based on
          attributes of the log event or other factors. A PatternSelector will normally be configured with a defaultPattern
          attribute, which is used when other criteria don't match, and a set of PatternMatch elements that identify
          the various patterns that can be selected.
        </p>

         <h5>LevelPatternSelector</h5>
          <p>
          The LevelPatternSelector selects patterns based on the log level of
          the log event. If the Level in the log event is equal to (ignoring case)
          the name specified on the PatternMatch key attribute, then
          the pattern specified on that PatternMatch element will be used.
          </p>
          <h5>MarkerPatternSelector</h5>
          <p>
            The MarkerPatternSelector selects patterns based on the Marker included in the log event. If the Marker in
            the log event is equal to or is an ancestor of the name specified on the PatternMatch key attribute, then the
            pattern specified on that PatternMatch element will be used.

          with <code>complete="false"</code>, you should include the output as an <em>external entity</em> in a
          separate file to form a well-formed XML document, in which case the appender uses
          <code>namespacePrefix</code> with a default of <code>"log4j"</code>.

          <p>Markers are represented by a <code>Marker</code> element within the <code>Event</code> element.

          </p>
              <pre class="prettyprint linenums">
  &lt;YamlLayout&gt;
    &lt;KeyValuePair key="additionalField1" value="constant value"/&gt;

              Custom fields are always last, in the order they are declared.  The values support <a href="lookups.html">lookups</a>.

        <subsection name="Location Information">
        <p>
			If one of the layouts is
			configured with a location-related attribute like
			HTML <a href="#HtmlLocationInfo">locationInfo</a>,
			or one of the patterns
			<a href="#PatternClass">%C or %class</a>,
			<a href="#PatternFile">%F or %file</a>,
			<a href="#PatternLocation">%l or %location</a>,
			<a href="#PatternLine">%L or %line</a>,
			<a href="#PatternMethod">%M or %method</a>,
			Log4j will take a snapshot of the
			stack, and walk the stack trace to find the location information.
			</p>
			<p>
			This is an expensive operation: 1.3 - 5 times slower for
			synchronous loggers. Synchronous loggers wait as
			long as possible before they take this stack snapshot. If no
			location is required, the snapshot will never be taken.
			</p><p>
              However, asynchronous loggers need to make this decision before passing the
              log message to another thread; the location information will be lost after that point.
              The <a href="../performance.html#asyncLoggingWithLocation">performance impact</a>
              of taking a stack trace snapshot is even higher for asynchronous loggers:
              logging with location is 30-100 times slower than without location.
              For this reason, asynchronous loggers and asynchronous appenders do not include location information by default.
			</p><p>
			You can override the default behaviour in your logger
			or asynchronous appender configuration
			by specifying
			<tt>includeLocation="true"</tt>.
