I chose a slightly different format: The new JSON output mode is
basically a rip-off of the CSV-mode.

$ seq 3 | parallel --results -.json seq {}
{ "Seq": 1, "Host": ":", "Starttime": 1608558088.369, "JobRuntime":
0.003, "Send": 0, "Rec
eive": 2, "Exitval": 0, "Signal": 0, "Command": "seq 1", "V": [ "1" ],
"Stdout": "1\u000a"
, "Stderr": "" }
{ "Seq": 2, "Host": ":", "Starttime": 1608558088.372, "JobRuntime":
0.003, "Send": 0, "Rec
eive": 4, "Exitval": 0, "Signal": 0, "Command": "seq 2", "V": [ "2" ],
"Stdout": "1\u000a2
\u000a", "Stderr": "" }
{ "Seq": 3, "Host": ":", "Starttime": 1608558088.376, "JobRuntime":
0.004, "Send": 0, "Rec
eive": 6, "Exitval": 0, "Signal": 0, "Command": "seq 3", "V": [ "3" ],
"Stdout": "1\u000a2
\u000a3\u000a", "Stderr": "" }

Piped through 'jq .':

{
 "Seq": 3,
 "Host": ":",
 "Starttime": 1608558118.154,
 "JobRuntime": 0.003,
 "Send": 0,
 "Receive": 6,
 "Exitval": 0,
 "Signal": 0,
 "Command": "seq 3",
 "V": [
   "3"
 ],
 "Stdout": "1\n2\n3\n",
 "Stderr": ""
}

--results -.json is alpha quality so feedback is encouraged.
