18 ======
19
20 JSON log files consist of a series of `\n`-separated JSON objects,
21 suitable for mangling with tools like
22 [`jq`](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
23
24 ``` {.json}
25 {"message":"Client connected","source":"c2s55f267f5b9d0","datetime":"2019-11-03T13:38:28Z","level":"info","args":[]}
26 {"message":"load_roster: asked for: %s","source":"rostermanager","datetime":"2019-11-03T13:38:28Z","level":"debug","args":["user@example.net"]}
27 ```

29 `datetime`
30 : [XEP-0082]-formatted timestamp.
31
32 `source`

34
35 `level`
36 : `debug`, `info`, `warn` or `error`
37
38 `message`

40 final message.
41
42 `args`
43 : Array of extra arguments, corresponding to `printf`-style `%s`
44 formatting in the `message`.
