Logger-config-to-json

Convert a typed LoggerConfig into a Json. This helper is the structured export path when config should be persisted, inspected, or embedded into larger JSON payloads.

Interface

pub fn logger_config_to_json(config : LoggerConfig) -> Json {}

input

• config : LoggerConfig - Typed logger configuration.

output

• Json - JSON representation of the logger config.

Explanation

Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors

• The output includes min_level, target, timestamp, sink, and optional queue.
• Sink export is delegated to sink_config_to_json(...).
• Queue export is delegated to queue_config_to_json(...) only when config.queue is present; otherwise the queue field is omitted entirely.
• min_level is serialized using Level::label(), so the emitted string follows the same stable config vocabulary accepted by the parser.
• The result is suitable for downstream JSON composition as well as stringification.
• Exported JSON follows the stable supported config schema rather than raw internal runtime state.

How to Use

Here are some specific examples provided.

When Need Generated Config Output

When code constructs config and later exports it:

let json = logger_config_to_json(LoggerConfig::new(target="svc"))

In this example, the typed config becomes a structured JSON value.

When Need To Embed Logger Config In A Larger Payload

When logger config should be one part of a bigger object:

let payload = logger_config_to_json(config)

In this example, the helper avoids re-implementing config serialization by hand.

Error Case

e.g.:

• If queue is None, the exported JSON simply omits the queue field.

• If some sink options are unused by the chosen sink kind, they still follow the supported config export shape rather than a runtime-only interpretation.

Notes

1. Use this helper when you need a reusable JSON value rather than a final JSON string.

2. Use stringify_logger_config(...) when the next consumer expects JSON text instead of Json.
