Description
We should allow the users to configure what field data they want output to a file. Something like:
output_fields = {
type = json,
frequency = end,
[0] = {"temperature", "l2", frequency},
[1] = {"displacement", "full"}
}
Options should be:
- output language (hdf5, yaml, json)
- which fields
- type of information dump = l2, full, average, min, max
- frequency of dump vs end state

Research direction
Begin by locating the input-file configuration and the existing field-data output path. Define how the input selects HDF5, YAML, or JSON, fields, dump type, and end-state versus periodic frequency. Done means those options can be configured from the input file and produce the requested output.
