An effort to add multi-format output has been stared a few years back; it
failed to deliver any useful results.

Responses are formatted, and they require relatively little context for
interpretation. It depends on what you need to do, really.

Recent squid versions also offer cachemgr output on http:// protocol. IIRC you
need to request http://name.of.squid.server/squid-internal-mgr/<page>
<http://name.of.squid.server/squid-internal-mgr/%3Cpage%3E>
The cache_object:// protocol is HTTP anyway.
