# JSON decode errors
This example demonstrates how to return useful error messages to the client
when the server receives a request with invalid JSON, or which cannot be
deserialized to the expected model. By configuring an `error_handler` on the
route, we can set appropriate response codes and return the string
representation of the error.
## Usage
```shell
cd examples/json_decode_error
cargo run
# Started HTTP server: 127.0.0.1:8088
```
## Examples
The examples use `curl -i` in order to show the status line with the response
code. The response headers have been omitted for brevity, and replaced with an
ellipsis `...`.
- A well-formed request
```shell
$ curl -i 127.0.0.1:8088 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name": "Alice"}'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Hello Alice!
```
- Missing `Content-Type` header
```shell
$ curl -i 127.0.0.1:8088 -d '{"name": "Bob"}'
HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type
...
Content type error
```
- Malformed JSON
```shell
$ curl -i 127.0.0.1:8088 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name": "Eve}'
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
...
Json deserialize error: EOF while parsing a string at line 1 column 14
```
- JSON value of wrong type
```shell
$ curl -i 127.0.0.1:8088 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name": 350}'
HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity
...
Json deserialize error: invalid type: integer `350`, expected a string at line 1 column 12
```
- Wrong JSON key
```shell
$ curl -i 127.0.0.1:8088 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"namn": "John"}'
HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity
...
Json deserialize error: missing field `name` at line 1 column 16
```
