# Standard Output Appender

This appender writes all log events to the standard output stream. It is the default appender for log4js.

# Configuration

- `type` - `stdout`
- `layout` - `object` (optional, defaults to colouredLayout) - see [layouts](layouts.md)

# Example

```javascript
log4js.configure({
  appenders: { out: { type: "stdout" } },
  categories: { default: { appenders: ["out"], level: "info" } },
});
```
