public abstract class Formatter extends Object
A Formatter provides support for formatting LogRecords.
Typically each logging Handler will have a Formatter associated with it. The Formatter takes a LogRecord and converts it to a string.
Some formatters (such as the XMLFormatter) need to wrap head and tail strings around a set of formatted records. The getHeader and getTail methods can be used to obtain these strings.
