Welcome to the NLog documentation! Just start with the tutorial to log messages within minutes!
For .NET Standard users a limited set is implemented. See the filter in the search page. To read more about .NET Standard, see the docs from Microsoft
For structured logging, introduced in NLog 4.5, see How to use structured logging
Are you missing some targets, layout renderers or renderers in NLog? Check to extend NLog or even better, contribute to NLog!
