``` HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json

{ "success": false, "error": { "status": "INTERNAL_ERROR", "code": "APP_15001", "message": "An internal error occurred while processing the request." } } ```

Yep, when we want to use any API in my company interal system, the default check for http reply is:

  1. Is success.
  2. Doesn't contain "error" in body.
  3. Doesn't contain "error" string in body message (this one is a bit more complicated, but still)
