This class implements a "Log::Log4perl" layout format, similar to Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout except that the output is a JSON hash. The JSON hash is ASCII encoded, with no newlines or other whitespace, and is suitable for output, via Log::Log4perl appenders, to files and syslog etc. The JSON hash can, optionally, be UTF-8 encoded. Contextual data in the Log::Log4perl::MDC hash can be included. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/Log-Log4perl
