About NXLogging

NXLogging is a modern and easy-to-use logging framework for Objective C and Swift on iOS. It was designed with the programmer's efficiency in mind and using it for logging remains as simple as writing NSLog(...) while allowing broad control, flexibility and extensibility.

Main goals of NXLogging:

• Keep logging as easy as using NSLog(...).
• Support debug console and system log out of the box.
• Log useful information about the caller, e.g. file and function.
• Take special care of logging NSError, NSException and ErrorType.
• No ramp-up code and configuration necessary.
• Simple, understandable API for customisation and extension.

How to get started

Download the NXLogging Xcode-Project and build the Universal Framework target. Add the resulting NXLogging.framework to the Embedded Binaries of your own project (in Xcode's General section of your build target).

Objective C usage

@import NXLogging; // or: #import <NXLogging/NXLogging.h>

NXLog(NXLogLevelInfo, @"A simple log message");
NXLog(NXLogLevelInfo, @"A simple log message with an %@", @"argument");

Swift usage

import NXLogging

NXLog(NXLogLevel.Info, "A simple log message");
NXLog(NXLogLevel.Info, "A simple log message with an %@", "argument");

While NXLogging offers the above C-style functions to Swift programmers, too, consider using the more flexible native API:

NXLogger.log(NXLogLevel.Info, format: "A simple log message")
NXLogger.log(NXLogLevel.Info, format: "A simple log message with an %@", "argument")

In principle you can stop reading here, and just start using the NXLogging framework. However, we strongly encourage you to take a few more minutes and delve into

• Advanced logging - Log levels, logging of errors and exceptions, variables
• Architecture - Concepts of the framework
• Customisation - Customised log output
• Extensions - Extending the framework

We hope, you will enjoy NXLogging and wish you happy coding!
