# Commons Logging Bridge

The Commons Logging Bridge allows applications coded to the Commons Logging API to use
Log4j 2 as the implementation.

## Requirements

The Commons Logging Bridge is dependent on the Log4j 2 API and Commons Logging.
For more information, see [Runtime Dependencies](runtime-dependencies.html).

## Usage

Using the Commons Logging Bridge is straightforward. Simply add the bridge jar along with
the other Log4j 2 jars and the Commons Logging jar, and all logging done using the
Commons Logging API will be routed to Log4j.
