Export capture log (inc. packet data) in a computer-friendly format
The most complete way to export capture log from Wireshark that I've found is plain text with packet data, e. g.:
No. Time Source Destination Protocol Length Info
320 39.396245 192.168.31.98 192.168.31.84 PTP/IP 66 Init Event Request Connection #:1
Frame 320: 66 bytes on wire (528 bits), 66 bytes captured (528 bits) on interface 0

However, I need to parse all this data in software, and I'm not looking forward to parsing all this text back to structured binary data. Seems a waste of resources (mostly my time as a programmer) to export to plain text and then parse it all back, removing all the clutter. Isn't there a more machine-friendly way to export capture data (list of packets with their parsed headers and data content)?
