Description

It would be nice if the API supported Kotlin multi-platform, and so could be used on other platforms that Kotlin targets, such as native, JavaScript, and WASM.

Log4j2 is obviously a JVM-only solution but this library is mostly just an API. We could make it easier for users to plugin in different backends for different platforms, and provide some reasonable choices out of the box for each platform.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting how the Kotlin API currently depends on the JVM-only Log4j2 backend and how platform-specific implementations could be separated; done would require an agreed multiplatform design and working backends for the requested targets.
