jlog - Just Barely Logging Description

Welcome to jlog, the logging library that barely logs but does it with style. If you're tired of those bloated, feature-rich logging libraries that come with more bells and whistles than a clown car at a circus, then jlog is the lightweight, minimalist solution you've been looking for. With jlog, we've stripped away all the unnecessary fluff, leaving you with just the bare essentials for logging. Features

Logging: Yes, we do that. Sort of.
Output: Logs messages to stdout because, let's be honest, who needs file logging?
Levels: We have two levels - "Info" and "Error." Because life isn't complicated enough.

Installation

To install jlog, simply copy the jlog.h header file to your project and include it wherever you want to barely log things. That's it. Seriously. Usage

Using jlog is as simple as 1-2-3:

cpp

#include "jlog.h"

int main() { jlog_info("This is barely useful information."); jlog_error("Something went wrong. Surprise!");

return 0;

}

License

jlog is licensed under the "Do whatever you want with it, just don't blame us if it breaks something" license. Enjoy! Contributing

We're not actively seeking contributions because, honestly, what else is there to add? But if you really feel inclined to contribute, go ahead and submit a pull request. Just don't expect much enthusiasm from us. Disclaimer

Warning: Using jlog may result in feelings of inadequacy compared to other logging libraries. Side effects may include frustration, regret, and an overwhelming desire to switch to a more fully-featured solution. Use at your own risk.

Feel free to adjust and embellish as needed! little more realistic, add a TODO with custom contexts. custom formats, documentation ChatGPT

Absolutely, let's add a bit more practicality while keeping the tongue-in-cheek tone: jlog - Just Barely Logging Description

Welcome to jlog, the logging library that does the bare minimum, but hey, it's something. If you're tired of bloated logging libraries with more features than you'll ever need, then jlog might just be your cup of tea. With jlog, we keep things simple and to the point, because who has time for complexity? Features

Logging: Yes, we log things. Sometimes.
Output: Logs messages to stdout because we like to keep things visible.
Levels: We've got two: "Info" for the mundane, and "Error" for when things go south.

Installation

To install jlog, simply copy the jlog.h header file to your project and include it wherever you want to do some bare minimum logging. It's so simple, you'll wonder why you're reading installation instructions in the first place. Usage

Using jlog is straightforward:

cpp

#include "jlog.h"

int main() { jlog_info("This is barely useful information."); jlog_error("Oops, something went wrong.");

return 0;

}

TODO

Custom Contexts: Allow users to specify custom logging contexts for better organization. Because sometimes you need to know if a log message came from "FunctionX" or "FunctionY".
Custom Formats: Add support for custom log message formats. Because who said all log messages have to look the same?
Documentation: Yeah, we should probably document this thing better. Coming soon™.
