      Debugging AJAX requests that require clean JSON and XML responses is possible with this approach.

      <title>Preparing data for Logging</title>

      <para>
        While any PHP variable can be logged with the built-in priorities, some special formatting
        is required if using some of the more specialized log styles.
      </para>
      <para>
        The <code>LOG</code>, <code>INFO</code>, <code>WARN</code>, <code>ERROR</code>
        and <code>TRACE</code> styles require no special formatting.

      <title>Exception Logging</title>

      <para>
        To log a <classname>Zend_Exception</classname> simply pass the exception object to the logger.
        It does not matter which priority or style you have set as the exception is automatically
        recognized.

      <title>Table Logging</title>

      <para>
        You can also log data and format it in a table style. Columns are automatically recognized and
        the first row of data automatically becomes the header.
