It seems that what this user really needs is a way to convert the

if we could find a more generic approach than just the ability to change properties names.
Well, there are really two problems. First the creation of the JSON format and then the
property name "conversion". I think they need to be addressed separately. Even
if we had/offered something to convert the constraint violations, we still
would report the actual property name.
In the described use case I would write the conversion code myself. The constraint
violation contains all the information needed to create the JSON format and do the name
conversion. It should not be hard to write.
