object Foo {

  case class JsonErrors(errors: Seq[(JsPath, Seq[ValidationError])]) extends Throwable

    errors => Failure(JsonErrors(errors)),
    res => Success(res)
  )
  implicit class ToTry[A](val jsresult: JsResult[A]) extends AnyVal {
    def asTry = jsresult2try(jsresult)
  }

  case class User(name: String, age: Int)
  implicit val userFormat = Json.format[User]

  val json: Try[JsValue] = Try {
    // retrieve JSON from network
    Json.obj("name" -> "Toto", "age" -> 42)
  }
