[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-2147) What is Apache's recommendation to use file type for configuration

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16281879#comment-16281879 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2147:
-------------------------------------

The Apache Logging project doesn't have a preference for the format of the configuration file. You can safely use any of the supported types. I personally prefer xml as I find it the most readable. Others prefer JSON or YAML. Some users really like properties files so we support that too.
