Programming Utilities

A collection of utilities I find useful and which are used in J4JSoftware projects.

To make these libraries more generally useful, as of 2023 April 4, logging has been migrated from Serilog to Microsoft's logging system.

In general, this means instances of ILoggerFactory are used as construction parameters, rather than ILogger. This is because, while Serilog lets you scope an ILogger instance to a new type, you can only define the scope of a Microsoft ILogger by calling ILoggerFactory.CreateLogger().

FWIW, in my projects I continue to use Serilog behind the scenes as my logging engine. It's great!
