[slf4j-user] FYI - structured logging wrapper for SLF4J

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you give more details? In any event, Maple supports custom formatters. On my dev machine I have a GELF formatter for Maple (GELF is a JSON format). 

The benefit of Maple is that standardizes the generation of structured logging. In other solutions, you have to format the fields/values at the call site or manually set them into a data structure. Maple, allows creation of a schema that formalizes field names and value types. See the example here: https://github.com/Randgalt/maple/blob/master/maple-examples/src/main/java/com/myco/app/request/RequestHandler.java <https://github.com/Randgalt/maple/blob/master/maple-examples/src/main/java/com/myco/app/request/RequestHandler.java>
