Substrate - Change logging library

Question

Is there some way to change the logging library or at least the logging format? I need a way of having the logs output in JSON format.

What I tried: Installed the tracing-subscriber pallet with json feature and inside node/src/main.rs added the initialization, but it clashes with the built-in logger. Then I tried disabling it on sp-api with feature disable-logging but it stills crashes on node start.

Any helpful idea or insight?

Replacing the logger with the current code seems to be challenging. However, there is a create_runner_with_logger_hook available. Perhaps configuring the log profile could help achieve this.
