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.
