How do I configure SLF4J logging in my Java application?

To configure SLF4J logging, you need to include the SLF4J API and a logging implementation like Logback or Log4j.

What dependencies do I need to add for Logback?

You need to add the following Maven dependencies: slf4j-api and logback-classic. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of the Maven configuration.

Sure! Here’s an example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.30</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>

How do I set the logging level in the configuration file?

In your logback.xml file, you can set the logging level like this:

<configuration>
    <root level="DEBUG">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>
</configuration>
