How can I configure Logback using XML for advanced logging?

You can configure Logback using XML by defining appenders, loggers, and encoders in your logback.xml file. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of a logback.xml configuration.

Here's a simple example:

<configuration>
    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
        <file>logs/app.log</file>
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="debug">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    </root>
</configuration>

This configuration logs messages to a file with a specific pattern. Do you need more details?

What are the different types of appenders I can use?

You can use various appenders like ConsoleAppender, FileAppender, RollingFileAppender, and more. Each serves different logging needs.

How do I set different logging levels for different packages?

You can set different logging levels by defining specific loggers in your logback.xml. For example:

<logger name="com.example" level="info" />
<logger name="com.example.debug" level="debug" />

This allows you to control logging levels for specific packages.
