Errors are hard to track down

I'll get console errors that say: VM14878:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token S in JSON at position 17 -- so I know something went wrong, but I have to hunt through the Network tab to find it:

persons.php?id=1 returned:

{"error":{"text":SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'active' in 'where clause'}}

which isn't valid JSON, so the error doesn't get reported.

(I'll make sure to update my database and add the active column)

I am making a excel spread sheet to categorize and list all possible errors to make a more consistent error handling. https://github.com/PublicDesignWorkshop/FoodParent2.0/blob/master/serverconfig/errorlist.xlsx

Another example of this: when I'm uploading an image, if the server returns any sort of error then it's only displayed in devtools and the site just says "Uploading..." forever. How about unless the server returns HTTP 200, then it displays the error along the bottom of the map?
