HTTP Status Codes

HTTP status codes are standardized three-digit numbers returned by web servers to indicate the outcome of an HTTP request. They are grouped into five classes (1xx informational, 2xx success, 3xx redirection, 4xx client errors, 5xx server errors) and provide essential feedback for debugging and handling responses in RESTful APIs and web applications.

Also known as: REST error codes, HTTP error codes, Status codes, Response codes, HTTP response status
🧊Why learn HTTP Status Codes?

Developers should learn HTTP status codes to properly implement error handling, improve API usability, and ensure robust client-server communication. They are critical for building RESTful APIs, debugging web requests, and creating user-friendly error messages in applications that rely on HTTP protocols.
