Error Handling

Description

Every route can optionally provide an Error property on the response object. The HTTP status code of the response should indicate what type of failure occurred and how the client should reaction.

Client Retry Behavior

Code	Name	Retry Behavior
400	Bad Request	The body of the request invalid. The request either must be changed before being retried or depends on another request being processed before it.
404	Not Found	The requested resource could not be found. The request must be changed before being retried.
422	Unprocessable Entity	The request body is valid, but unsupported. This request should never be retried.
500	Internal Server Error	The server encountered an error while processing the request. This request should be retried without change.

Example Response

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

  "Error": {
    "Message": "example error message"
  }
