More JSON-friendly report?

[jpblair]

I'm planning to use the library to validate data coming in from clients, and on error return the detailed error information. Is there any way to get this in a more JSON-friendly format? For example, having level/schema/instance/etc all be separate JSON fields. Apologies if this already exists and I just haven't found it.

:+1: I would also like this. Haven't found it anywhere in the API so far.

I would love this as well.

@fge are you willing to accept a PR for this?

@febpetroni @rodrigosaito I was able to find a solution for this after doing some digging around. Each ProcessingMessage in the ProcessingReport has an asJson() method which returns a JsonNode object. I was able to create a JSON array and iterate through each ProcessingMessage, adding its asJson() output to the array. Hope this helps.

Another way to do this is to use the ListProcessingReport.

ProcessingReport report = schema.validate(jsonInput, true);
ListProcessingReport listProcessingReport = new ListProcessingReport();
listProcessingReport.mergeWith(report);
System.out.println(listProcessingReport.asJson());

ListProcessingReport has a copy constructor that would cut that code down by a line but it wasn't working for me.
