Add ECS format for structured JSON encoder
Our company primarily uses ECS logging format, with some variation here and there. I wouldn't mind contributing this possible, if I can figure out exactly how the encoders work. If it's not a major lift, I think this would be a useful format to have available.

Am I right to think it involves mapping the right fields like here?

I didn't see any other requests for this, but I'd be interested to know if anyone else would find this useful.

You are correct.
I was planning on doing it but just ran out of time. If you give it a head start with a PR I would be happy to finish it.
Part of the reason I also delayed was to see what Spring did with structured logging but after looking at that API I think what we have is more efficient and can be revisited later.
