Log4Pascal

Log4pascal is an Open Source project that aims to produce a simple logging unit for ObjectPascal (Delphi, FreePascal).

Log4Pascal is NOT based on the Log4J package from the Apache Software Foundation. Well, just the name.

How to use

Just add the unit Log4Pascal.pas to project.

• Project -> Add to Project and then locate and choose the file.

Logger.Trace('Trace message log');
Logger.Debug('Message is logged only when in debug');
Logger.Info('Normal message log');
Logger.Warning('Warning message log');
