Appends a series of event elements as defined in the log4j.dtd.

Complete well-formed XML vs. fragment XML

If you configure complete="true", the appender outputs a well-formed XML document where the default namespace is the log4j namespace "http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/events". By default, with complete="false", you should include the output as an external entity in a separate file to form a well-formed XML document.

If complete="false", the appender does not write the XML processing instruction and the root element.

Encoding

Appenders using this layout should have their charset set to UTF-8 or UTF-16, otherwise events containing non-ASCII characters could result in corrupted log files.

Pretty vs. compact XML

By default, the XML layout is not compact (compact = not "pretty") with compact="false", which means the appender uses end-of-line characters and indents lines to format the XML. If compact="true", then no end-of-line or indentation is used. Message content may contain, of course, end-of-lines.

Additional Fields

This property allows addition of custom fields into generated JSON. <XmlLayout><KeyValuePair key="foo" value="bar"/></XmlLayout> inserts <foo>bar</foo> directly into XML output. Supports Lookup expressions.
