title: Are there similarities between log4J and log4Net?
body: <p>Original question: What is difference between Log4j and Log4Net and in what scenario should these two be used?</p>
  <p>Updated question: Ok so one is for the Java language while the other is for C#/.Net language(s).</p>
  <p>That stated, are there commonalities that effect both log4j and log4net? Consider, just for example, if a bug was found to effect log4J; is there a risk that something similar could effect log4Net too (or any of the other ports)? I ask as both are developed by Apache and according to their <a href="https://logging.apache.org/log4net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">logging service documentation</a>, it seems log4net is a port of the original log4J, &quot;similar in spirit to the original log4j&quot; as they state. How close is that spirit and is it something that could feasibly effect other loggers?</p>
