Zero Allocation Text/Structured Logger for .NET and Unity, with StringInterpolation and Source Generator, built on top of a Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
.
The usual destinations for log output are Console(Stream)
, File(Stream)
, Network(Stream)
, all in UTF8 format. However, since typical logging architectures are based on Strings (UTF16), this requires additional encoding costs. In ZLogger, we utilize the String Interpolation Improvement of C# 10 and by leveraging .NET 8's IUtf8SpanFormattable, we have managed to avoid the boxing of values and maintain high performance by consistently outputting directly in UTF8 from input to output.
ZLogger is built directly on top of Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
. Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
is an official log abstraction used in many frameworks, such as ASP.NET Core and Generic Host. However, since regular loggers have their own systems, a bridge is required to connect these systems, and this is where a lot of overhead can be observed. ZLogger eliminates the need for this bridge, thereby completely avoiding overhead.
This benchmark is for writing to a file, but the default settings of typical loggers are very slow. This is because they flush after every write. In the benchmark, to ensure fairness, careful attention was paid to set the options in each logger for maximum speed. ZLogger is designed to be the fastest by default, so there is no need to worry about any settings.
The slowness of this default setting is due to I/O, so it can be mitigated by using a faster drive. When taking benchmarks, please note that the results can vary greatly not only on your local (which is probably fast!) but also on drives attached to the cloud and in environments like Docker. One of the good points about the async-buffered setting is that it can reduce the impact of such I/O issues.
ZLogger focuses on the new syntax of C#, and fully adopts Interpolated Strings.
This allows for providing parameters to logs in the most convenient form. Also, by closely integrating with System.Text.Json's Utf8JsonWriter, it not only enables high-performance output of text logs but also makes it possible to efficiently output structured logs.
ZLogger also emphasizes console output, which is crucial in cloud-native applications. By default, it outputs with performance that can withstand destinations in cloud log management. Of course, it supports both text logs and structured logs.
ZLogger delivers its best performance with .NET 8 and above, but it is designed to maintain consistent performance with .NET Standard 2.0 and .NET 6 through a fallback to its own IUtf8SpanFormattable.
As for standard logger features, it supports loading LogLevel from json, filtering by category, and scopes, as found in Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. In terms of output destinations, it is equipped with sufficient capabilities for Console
, File
, RollingFile
, InMemory
, Stream
, and an AsyncBatchingProcessor
for sending logs over HTTP and similar protocols.

PM> Install-Package ZLogger
In the simplest case, you generate a logger by adding ZLogger's Provider to Microsoft.Extensions.Logging's LoggerFactory, and then use ZLogger's own ZLog method.
For Unity, the requirements and installation process are completely different. See the Unity section for details.
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using ZLogger;
using var factory = LoggerFactory.Create(logging =>
{
logging.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Trace);
// Add ZLogger provider to ILoggingBuilder
logging.AddZLoggerConsole();
// Output Structured Logging, setup options
// logging.AddZLoggerConsole(options => options.UseJsonFormatter());
});
var logger = factory.CreateLogger("Program");
var name = "John";
var age = 33;
// Use **Z**Log method and string interpolation to log message
logger.ZLogInformation($"Hello my name is {name}, {age} years old.");
Normally, you don't create LoggerFactory yourself. Instead, you set up a Generic Host and receive ILogger through dependency injection (DI).
You can setup logger by .NET Generic Host(for ASP.NET Core) and if you want to use this in ConsoleApplication, we provides ConsoleAppFramework to use hosting abstraction.
Here is the showcase of providers.
using ZLogger;
var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder();
builder.Logging
// optional(MS.E.Logging):clear default providers(recommend to remove all)
.ClearProviders()
// optional(MS.E.Logging):setup minimum log level
.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Trace)
// Add to output to console
.AddZLoggerConsole();
// Add to output to the file
.AddZLoggerFile("/path/to/file.log")
// Add to output the file that rotates at constant intervals.
.AddZLoggerRollingFile(options =>
{
// File name determined by parameters to be rotated
options.FilePathSelector = (timestamp, sequenceNumber) => $"logs/{timestamp.ToLocalTime():yyyy-MM-dd}_{sequenceNumber:000}.log";
// The period of time for which you want to rotate files at time intervals.
options.RollingInterval = RollingInterval.Day;
// Limit of size if you want to rotate by file size. (KB)
options.RollingSizeKB = 1024;
})
// Add to output of simple rendered strings into memory. You can subscribe to this and use it.
.AddZLoggerInMemory(processor =>
{
processor.MessageReceived = renderedLogString =>
{
System.Console.WriteLine(renderedLogString);
};
})
// Add output to any steram (`System.IO.Stream`)
.AddZLoggerStream(stream);
// Add custom output
.AddZLoggerLogProcessor(new YourCustomLogExporter());
// Format as json
.AddZLoggerConsole(options =>
{
options.UseJsonFormatter();
})
// Format as json and configure output
.AddZLoggerConsole(options =>
{
options.UseJsonFormatter(formatter =>
{
formatter.IncludeProperties = IncludeProperties.ParameterKeyValues;
});
})
// Further common settings
.AddZLoggerConsole(options =>
{
// Enable LoggerExtensions.BeginScope
options.IncludeScopes = true;
// Set TimeProvider
options.TimeProvider = yourTimeProvider
});
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using ZLogger;
public class MyClass
{
// get ILogger<T> from DI.
readonly ILogger<MyClass> logger;
public MyClass(ILogger<MyClass> logger)
{
this.logger = logger;
}
// name = "Bill", city = "Kumamoto", age = 21
public void Foo(string name, string city, int age)
{
// plain-text:
// Hello, Bill lives in Kumamoto 21 years old.
// json:
// {"Timestamp":"2023-11-30T17:28:35.869211 09:00","LogLevel":"Information","Category":"MyClass","Message":"Hello, Bill lives in Kumamoto 21 years old.","name":"Bill","city":"Kumamoto","age":21}
// json(IncludeProperties.ParameterKeyValues):
// {"name":"Bill","city":"Kumamoto","age":21}
logger.ZLogInformation($"Hello, {name} lives in {city} {age} years old.");
// Explicit property name, you can use custom format string start with '@'
logger.ZLogInformation($"Hello, {name:@user-name} id:{100:@id} {age} years old.");
// Dump variables as JSON, you can use custom format string `json`
var user = new User(1, "Alice");
// user: {"Id":1,"Name":"Bob"}
logger.ZLogInformation($"user: {user:json}");
}
}
All standard .Log
methods are processed as strings by ZLogger's Provider. However, by using our unique .ZLog*
methods, you can process them at high performance while remaining in UTF8. Additionally, these methods support both text logs and structured logs using String Interpolation syntax.
All logging methods are completely similar as Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LoggerExtensions, but it has Z prefix overload.
The ZLog* method uses InterpolatedStringHandler in .NET and prepare the template at compile time.
// TODO: still being written, please wait a little longer.
builder.Logging.AddZLoggerConsole(options =>
{
// Text format
// e.g) "2023-12-01 16:41:55.775|Information|This is log message. (MyNamespace.MyApp)
options.UsePlainTextFormatter(formatter =>
{
formatter.SetPrefixFormatter($"{0}|{1}|", (template, info) => template.Format(info.Timestamp, info.LogLevel));
formatter.SetSuffixFormatter($" ({0})", (formatter, info) => formatter.Format(info.Category));
formatter.SetExceptionFormatter((writer, ex) => Utf8String.Format(writer, $"{ex.Message}"));
});
// Using various variable formats.
// e.g) "2023-12-01T16:47:15 09:00|INF|This is log message"
formatter.SetPrefixFormatter($"{0:yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:sszzz}|{1:short}|", (writer, info) =>
{
var escapeSequence = "";
// if (info.LogLevel >= LogLevel.Error)
// {
// escapeSequence = "\u001b[31m";
// }
// else if (!info.Category.Name.Contains("MyApp"))
// {
// escapeSequence = "\u001b[38;5;08m";
// }
writer.Format(info.Timestamp, info.LogLevel);
});
// Console coloring example
options.UsePlainTextFormatter(formatter =>
{
// \u001b[31m => Red(ANSI Escape Code)
// \u001b[0m => Reset
// \u001b[38;5;***m => 256 Colors(08 is Gray)
formatter.SetPrefixFormatter($"{0}{1}|{2:short}|", (writer, info) =>
{
var escapeSequence = "";
if (info.LogLevel >= LogLevel.Error)
{
escapeSequence = "\u001b[31m";
}
else if (!info.Category.Name.Contains("MyApp"))
{
escapeSequence = "\u001b[38;5;08m";
}
writer.Format(escapeSequence, info.Timestamp, info.LogLevel);
});
formatter.SetSuffixFormatter($"{0}", (writer, info) =>
{
if (info.LogLevel == LogLevel.Error || !info.Category.Name.Contains("MyApp"))
{
writer.Format("\u001b[0m");
}
});
});
});
Formatting can be set using the String Interpolation Template, and lambda expression as shown above.
Note: For format strings available for various variables:
-LogLevel
can be specially specified as short
. This reduces the length of string to a fixed number of characters, such as INFO
.
- For other types, ZLogger uses Cysharp/Utf8StringInterpolation internally. Please see this.

Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.BannedApiAnalyzers is an interesting analyzer, you can prohibit the normal Log method and induce the user to call ZLogger's ZLog method.
All you have to do is prepare the following configuration.
T:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LoggerExtensions;Don't use this, use ZLog*** instead.
T:System.Console;Don't use this, use logger instead.
Like the traditional log manager, how to get and store logger per type without DI(such as static readonly ILogger logger = LogManager.GetLogger()
). You can get ILoggerFactory
from IHost
before Run and set to the global static loggerfactory store.
var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()
.ConfigureLogging(logging =>
{
logging.ClearProviders();
logging.AddZLoggerConsole();
})
.UseConsoleAppFramework<Program>(args) // use framework, example of ConsoleAppFramework
// .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(x => x.UseStartup<Startup>()) // example of ASP.NET Core
.Build(); // use Build instead of Run directly
// get configured loggerfactory.
var loggerFactory = host.Services.GetRequiredService<ILoggerFactory>();
LogManager.SetLoggerFactory(loggerFactory, "Global");
// Run after set global logger.
await host.RunAsync();
// -----
// Own static logger manager
public static class LogManager
{
static ILogger globalLogger;
static ILoggerFactory loggerFactory;
public static void SetLoggerFactory(ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, string categoryName)
{
LogManager.loggerFactory = loggerFactory;
LogManager.globalLogger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger(categoryName);
}
public static ILogger Logger => globalLogger;
// standard LoggerFactory caches logger per category so no need to cache in this manager
public static ILogger<T> GetLogger<T>() where T : class => loggerFactory.CreateLogger<T>();
public static ILogger GetLogger(string categoryName) => loggerFactory.CreateLogger(categoryName);
}
You can use this logger manager like following.
public class Foo
{
static readonly ILogger<Foo> logger = LogManager.GetLogger<Foo>();
public void Foo(int x)
{
logger.ZLogDebug($"do do do: {x}");
}
}
ZLogger uses some of the compile time features of C# 10, and ZLogger.Generator uses some of the features of C# 11.
To use them in Unity, needs to check the Unity version and set up the compiler.
- Unity 2022.2 or newer
- Standard ZLogger features are available.
- Unity internally embeds the .NET SDK 6. So C# 10 is available via compiler arguments.
- Unity 2022.3.12f1 or newer
- ZLogger source generator available.
- Unity internaly update .NET SDK 6. So C# 11 features are in preview.
Prerequirements:
- Install NuGetForUnity
- Required to install the dlls of ZLogger and its dependencies.
- Install CsprojModifier
- Required to develop in the IDE with a new language version.
- Install
ZLogger.Unity
package via git url.- Add
https://github.com/Cysharp/ZLogger.git?path=src/ZLogger.Unity/Assets/ZLogger.Unity

- Add
Installation steps:
-
Setup the C# compiler for unity.
- Add a text file named
csc.rsp
with the following contents under your Assets/.-
-langVersion:10 -nullable
-
- Note:
- If you are using assembly definition, put it in the same folder as the asmdef that references ZLogger.
- If you are using Unity 2022.3.12f1 or newer, you can use
langVersion:preview
allows parts of C# 11 features.
- Add a text file named

The basic functions of ZLogger are also available in Unity as follows. Use LoggerFactory directly to create loggers.
var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(logging =>
{
logging.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Trace);
logging.AddZLoggerUnityDebug(); // log to UnityDebug
});
var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<YourClass>();
var name = "foo";
logger.ZLogInformation($"Hello, {name}!");
Also supports StructuredLogging(JSON), and FileProvider.
var loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(logging =>
{
logging.AddZLoggerFile("/path/to/logfile", options =>
{
options.UseJsonFormatter();
});
});
Unity 2022.3.12f1 and enables -langVersion:preview
supports Source Generator.
