The
Statustype is a structured way to represent errors in various programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs, and is used by gRPC. -
Each
Statusmessage consists of three components: an integer error code (code), a developer-facing error message in English (message), and an optional list of objects (details) containing further error specifics. -
Statusutilizes a common error model that is further detailed in the Google API Design Guide for developers seeking more information and practical implementation advice.
The Status
