public final class YamlLayout
extends AbstractStringLayout

This approach enforces the independence of the YamlLayout and the appender where you embed it.

Encoding

Appenders using this layout should have their charset set to UTF-8 or UTF-16, otherwise events containing non ASCII characters could result in corrupted log files.
