About:
Plog is a portable, simple, and extensible C++ logging library that provides a seamless logging experience across various platforms. It is designed to be easy to integrate into existing projects with minimal overhead, offering a type-safe and expressive API for developers. Its core value proposition lies in its header-only design and extensibility through custom formatters and appenders.

Key Features:

Header-only library for easy integration
Extensible with custom appenders and formatters
Type-safe and expressive logging API
Zero-overhead abstractions for performance

Use Cases:

Adding structured logging to C++ applications
Debugging and monitoring cross-platform software
Creating custom log outputs for specific environments

Alternatives:

spdlog – spdlog is another popular header-only C++ logging library, often noted for its extremely high performance.
glog – Google's glog provides robust logging features but typically requires linking a library, unlike Plog's header-only approach.
