This output format, called ctf-text, is a custom one, even though it
shares similarities with JSON.

The Babeltrace viewer is currently actively being redesigned to
ease the creation of input/output formats thanks to a plugin interface
with a clean API. ctf-text will be available as a plugin, unchanged,
but JSON and YAML output plugins are also on the roadmap, so
stay tuned!
