Serenity Logger vs plog

Serenity Logger

Yet another Fast and Efficient logging framework. The goal is to be nanosecond level fast with extensibility (inspired by loggers such as spdlog, nanolog, and fmtlog and heavily influenced by the formatting used in fmtlib and <format>). This uses a built-in formatter that can be swapped out for <format> or fmtlib if desired. (by USAFrenzy)

Alternatives are glog from Google is full-featured, like spdlog, while Plog offers a lightweight alternative. Both are worthy upgrades on using C++ built-in std::clog.

From the usability and features I like plog a lot. Their code is on Github, maybe check how they've done it? You can also look at other libraries to get a feeling for different approaches.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Serenity Logger and plog you can also consider the following projects:

spdlog - Fast C++ logging library.

G3log - G3log is an asynchronous, "crash safe", logger that is easy to use with default logging sinks or you can add your own. G3log is made with plain C++14 (C++11 support up to release 1.3.2) with no external libraries (except gtest used for unit tests). G3log is made to be cross-platform, currently running on OSX, Windows and several Linux distros. See Readme below for details of usage.
