logger.log('a string', 'another string');
// => console.log('{"level":"LOG","message":["a string","another string"]}');

logger.info('a string', { an: 'object' });
// => console.info('{"level":"INFO","message":["a string",{"an":"object"}]}');

logger.warn('a string', ['an', 'array']);
// => console.warn('{"level":"WARN","message":["a string",["an","array"]]}');

logger.error('a string', new Error('an error'));
// => console.error('{"level":"ERROR","message":["a string",{"error":"Error","message":"an error","stack":"..."}]}');

Callbacks

logger.on('error', (message) => {
  // do something
});

logger.error('an error string');
