Which formats are available?

RFC 9457 Problem Details, JSON:API errors, Google API, AWS, Stripe, Laravel, Django REST Framework, ASP.NET Core ValidationProblemDetails, JSend, a simple { error } object and GraphQL errors.

How are field errors chosen?

From the field names: email gets an invalid-format message, password too-short, terms must-be-true, ids not-found, and so on. Add your own fields to see the mapping.

Can I set the message?

Yes, the custom message replaces the default detail in every format while codes, status and structure stay correct.
