Newline delimited JSON / Streamed JSON support

[304NotModified]

Idea: maybe make it easier to setup Newline delimited JSON and recommend this in the docs.

Mabye somethine like <layout xsi:type="JsonLayout" newline-delimited=true ..> or <layout xsi:type="JsonLayout" delimiter="${newline}>

(This would create trailing delimiters. )

See:

When using the JsonLayout with FileTarget or NetworkTarget, then it automatically generates newline-delimited-JSON. What is missing?

I think you right, expect maybe this:

The JSON texts MUST NOT contain newlines or carriage returns.

from https://github.com/ndjson/ndjson-spec

And mostly, it's a docs thing.

The JSON texts MUST NOT contain newlines or carriage returns.

NLog already escapes newlines and carriage returns:

NLog/src/NLog/Targets/DefaultJsonSerializer.cs

Lines 670 to 681 in d84a0c0

	case '\r':
	sb.Append("\\r");
	break;
	case '\n':
	sb.Append("\\n");
	break;
	case '\f':
	sb.Append("\\f");
	break;

But maybe you mean pretty-formatted/indented Json-output ? (Instead of the entire json-document in a single line)

Closing as resolved, since both FileTarget and NetworkTarget supports adding newline after each JSON-document. Alternative one can use CompoundLayout if some NLog target is missing newline-support.
