 === Pretty vs. compact JSON
 
-By default, the JSON layout is not compact (a.k.a. "pretty") with
-`compact="false"`, which means the appender uses end-of-line characters
-and indents lines to format the text. If `compact="true"`, then no
-end-of-line or indentation is used. Message content may contain, of
-course, escaped end-of-lines.
+The compact attribute determines whether the output will be "pretty" or not. The default value is "false",
+which means the appender uses end-of-line characters and indents lines to format the text. If
+`compact="true"`,  then no end-of-line or indentation is used, which will cause the output
+to take less space. Of course, the message content may contain, escaped end-of-lines.
