How about using "pdml" or "psml" with the -T option.  From the tshark 
man page:

  pdml Packet Details Markup Language, an XML-based format for the 
  details of a decoded packet. This information is equivalent to the 
  packet details printed with the -V flag.

  psml Packet Summary Markup Language, an XML-based format for the 
  summary information of a decoded packet. This information is 
  equivalent to the information shown in the one-line summary printed by 
  default.
