Description
When parsing an incorrect JSON with Aeson, you only get the first error instead of all the errors like so:
Data.Aeson> eitherDecode "[1,19,\"a\", 20]" :: Either String [Text]
Left "Error in $[0]: expected Text, encountered Number"
It would be better to have another function to return all the errors instead of just the first one, for example:
Data.Aeson> eitherDecode "[1,19,\"a\", 20]" :: Either [(String, String)] [Text]
Left [("$[0]", "Expected Text, encountered Number"), ("$[1]", "Expected Text, encountered Number"), ("$[3]", "Expected Text, encountered Number")]
This kind of feature would be very useful in web development where errors in request payload are all checked at once to save network round trip.
I'm thinking maybe this library can be used instead of Either https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Validation-0.2.0/docs/Data-Validation.html
