I had the impression that there's no difference in the profiler dump file regardless of the frontend so I assumed that the later steps on analyzing the dump don't involve the front-end language anymore. Yes, the dump file is processed by the backend, but that's more for tracing. For aggregate information we currently only have dumps() which will return a tabular string. It prints out like this.  So instead of adding a utility that parse that table into a JSON string, we can return a JSON string from the backend directly.
