According to mvnrepository, logback[1] is the most popular Java logging framework[2]. It is the spiritual[peacock prose] successor of log4j 1.x and is very similar architecturally to log4j 1.x.
The main difference between log4j 1.x and logback is that logback implements the SLF4J API[3] natively. In addition, logback has a larger battery of tests and more extensive documentation.[4]
Modules
Logback ships with three modules. The logback-classic module which is the equivalent of log4j 1.x. The logback-access module can be integrated with web-container to log HTTP traffic. The logback-core module provides common functionality required by the previous two modules.
