Struct Element 

pub struct Element {
    pub id: ElemId,
    pub span: Span,
    pub path: Path,
    pub location: Location,
}

A representation of a JSON element that satisfies the needs of most consumers of a Warning.

This representation avoids the complexity of needing to provide a 'buf lifetime to the json::Element. This would complicate all warnings types with that lifetime.

A consumer of warnings wants them grouped by the element they were reported against and then displayed by path. Set is keyed by Element::id, so it groups them on insert and emits the groups in the order the elements appear in the document.

The linter report also wants to highlight the source JSON that a warning refers to.

Fields

id: ElemId

The Id of the element that caused the Warning.

Set groups and orders warnings by this id.

Pass it to json::Document::element to get the live json::Element back, which is what acting on a warning takes rather than just reporting it: the value, the child elements and json::Element::full_span are all absent here.

span: Span

The Span that delimits the json::Element.

path: Path

The elements path.

Most consumers of warnings just want this data.

location: Location

The location (line, column) of the beginning of this element in the JSON file.
