Exception Taxonomy
Hierarchical exception system with HTTP status codes, error codes, and structured responses for consistent API error handling.
When to Use This Skill
- Building APIs that need consistent error responses
- Creating machine-readable error codes for client handling
- Implementing retry logic based on error types
- Standardizing error handling across a large codebase
Core Concepts
A well-designed exception taxonomy provides:
- Consistent error responses across all endpoints
- Machine-readable error codes for client handling
- Human-readable messages for debugging
- HTTP status code mapping
- Retry hints for transient failures
