Chrome Trace Event support?

[owickstrom]

Hi,

First off, very nice project! I've only tried it on a toy example, but enjoying it so far and I want to dig deeper in my real projects using the tool.

I was watching a talk about the Xi text editor implementation, where they exported tracing data in the Chrome Trace Event format and used chrome://tracing as a frontend.

These blog posts describe the general idea:

• http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/176420/Indepth_Using_Chrometracing_to_view_your_inline_profiling_data.php
• https://aras-p.info/blog/2017/01/23/Chrome-Tracing-as-Profiler-Frontend/

Would this be a feature you'd be interested to have in ghc-events-analyze, i.e. also exporting to the Chrome Trace Event format, in addition to SVG and text files?

Cheers!

Sure, it should be relatively easy to add new export formats. Feel free to submit a PR :)

Will do, when I get the time. 👍 Also, if anyone beats me to it that's fine by me.

This seems like it would be really nice!
