Interface Logger

All Known Implementing Classes:
  WriterLogger

    public interface Logger

Defines the interface for handling log messages.

It is not usually necessary for users to create implementations of this interface, as the `LoggerProvider` interface contains several predefined instances which provide the most commonly required `Logger` implementations.

By default, logging is configured automatically according to the algorithm described in the static `Config.LoggerProvider` property.

An instance of a class that implements this interface is used by calling the `Source.setLogger(Logger)` method on the relevant `Source` object.

Four logging levels are defined in this interface. The logging level is specified only by the use of different method names, there is no class or type defining the levels. This makes the code required to wrap other logging frameworks much simpler and more efficient.

The four logging levels are:

- `ERROR`
- `WARN`
- `INFO`
- `DEBUG`

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Ideally the `java.util.logging.Logger` class could have been used as a basis for logging, even if used to define a wrapper around other logging frameworks. This would have avoided the need to define yet another logging interface, but because `java.util.logging.Logger` is implemented very poorly, it is quite tricky to extend it as a wrapper. Other logging wrapper frameworks such as SLF4J or Jakarta Commons Logging provide good logging interfaces, but to avoid introducing dependencies it was decided to create this new interface.

`boolean` | `isDebugEnabled()` Indicates whether logging is enabled at the DEBUG level.
`boolean` | `isErrorEnabled()` Indicates whether logging is enabled at the ERROR level.
`boolean` | `isInfoEnabled()` Indicates whether logging is enabled at the INFO level.
`boolean` | `isWarnEnabled()` Indicates whether logging is enabled at the WARN level.
`void` | `warn(java.lang.String message)` Logs a message at the WARN level.
