Just to add to utilities that utilize such a library is https://github.com/epl-viz/EPL-Viz

I agree that such an utility could be added to Wireshark itself, and it is not actively developed anymore (at least to my knowledge). 

But it was implemented by utilizing heavily a wireshark installation including libwireshark and libwsutil
