How it Works

The .NET library is written to be as non-intrusive as possible for your code. When you call a logging method the libraryadds the object into a queue. There is a background thread running which processes queue items. This allows your logging actions to happen as rapidly as possible, not bogging down any other actions your application is performing.

The communication with the JustLog.IT logging endpoints (REST-ful API) uses the HttpClient object found in theSystem.Net.Http assembly.
