Alexey MilovidovandClaude Opus 4.8 da800c515f Docs: autogenerate 65 format reference pages from system.formats
Extend the generator to formats (generate-formats.sql + format_generators in
the port, same mechanism as engines). Convert the 65 format pages whose
structured docs reproduce the page (content-neutral / whitespace-only).

Deferred (kept hand-written): pages that include shared Mintlify snippets
(<PrettyFormatSettings/>, <RowBinaryFormatSettings/>, <DataTypeMapping/> from
/snippets/) which the Docusaurus->Mintlify transform can't synthesize, and a
few (Values, HiveText, Arrow, ArrowStream, Parquet) whose structured
description is less complete than the page and needs enriching.

## Description {#description}
The `JSONCompactStrings` format differs from [JSONStrings](/reference/formats/JSON/JSONStrings) only in that data rows are output as arrays, not as objects.
## Example usage {#example-usage}
### Reading data {#reading-data}
Read data using the `JSONCompactStrings` format:
```sql
SELECT *
FROM football
FORMAT JSONCompactStrings
```
The output will be in JSON format:
```json
