+## Formatting Responses using `--pretty` flag
+
+You can optionally return outputs of commands in  human-readable, tabular format instead of `JSON`. To enable this option, simply add the `--pretty` flag as a top level flag. For instance, you wallet's balance in a pretty format, you can run:
+
+```shell
+cargo run --pretty -n signet wallet -w {wallet_name} -d sqlite balance
+```
+This is available for wallet, key, repl and compile features. When ommitted, outputs default to `JSON`.
