Release-mode can optimize bounds-checking on newer NET platforms with foreach.

Walkthrough

Updates stringification across JSON and core Layout classes, altering separators and outputs for attribute rendering. Refactors XML element base to use private backing lists for elements and attributes, updating internal loops and checks accordingly while keeping public read-only accessors.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
JSON layout stringify tweaks
src/NLog/Layouts/JSON/JsonLayout.cs		 Adjust ToString: use name=value pairs via ToStringWithNestedItems when attributes exist; return class name with IncludeEventProperties flag when no attributes; otherwise return class name.
Layout base stringify helper
src/NLog/Layouts/Layout.cs		 ToStringWithNestedItems: when items exist, use ": " before joined names (instead of "="); when empty, return type name instead of base.ToString().
XML element backing fields refactor
src/NLog/Layouts/XML/XmlElementBase.cs		 Introduce private List backing fields for Elements/Attributes; properties now return backing fields. Replace internal usage to reference _elements/_attributes across initialization, pre-calculation, rendering, and ToString helpers. Public API shape remains read-only accessors.

Poem

I twitch my ears at name=value flair,
JSON shines neatly, pairs everywhere.
XML hides lists in burrows tight,
Backing fields snug, out of sight.
Layouts whisper: “Type names, colon bright.”
I thump approval—logs hop just right! 🐇✨

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Title Check ⚠️ Warning The title claims the PR changes XmlLayout to use foreach for performance optimizations, but the actual changes focus on refactoring ToString implementations in JsonLayout and Layout and introducing private backing fields in XmlElementBase, with no mention of foreach loops or related performance work. Therefore the title does not accurately summarize the main changes. Please update the title to clearly reflect the primary modifications, such as refactoring ToString methods in JSON and XML layout classes and introducing backing fields for XML elements, rather than referencing unrelated foreach optimizations.
Description Check ⚠️ Warning The description refers to optimizing bounds-checking via foreach in release mode, but the diff shows no changes to loops or performance-oriented code; instead it adjusts string representations and refactors backing fields in layout classes, making the description unrelated to the actual work. Please revise the description to summarize the actual changes, for example noting the updates to ToString behavior in JsonLayout and Layout and the introduction of private backing fields in XmlElementBase.
