Error Handling

Format

Errors will be returned in a format containing:

• Error Message errorMessage

• Unique Error ID errorId

• HTTP Error Code errorCode

For example, this is an error returned when supplying inputs with incorrect file paths:

Response (XML)

<error>
    <errorMessage>inputA: cannot read your/folder/DeltaXML-HTML-Compare-1_0_0/inputA.html</errorMessage>
    <errorId>eb19636a-2183-467a-b499-e7acee86275b</errorId>
    <errorCode>400</errorCode>
</error>

Response (JSON)

{
    "errorMessage": "inputA: cannot read your/folder/DeltaXML-HTML-Compare-1_0_0/inputA.html",
    "errorId": "eb19636a-2183-467a-b499-e7acee86275b",
    "errorCode": 400
}

Content Type

If set, the error will be returned in the content type specified in the Accept header of the request.
E.g. if there was an error getting a Job's information and you set Accept to application/json, it will be returned in JSON format.

If no Acceptheader is set it will fallback to XML format.
