@CSaratakij the algo is working!
*evil laugh* -
@bittersweet seen that too.. an enum with series of custom error codes and corresponding messages.. it's perfectly fine to use it somewhere else, but not for rest api responses... so, what's the consumer supposed to do ? See if the response is 200, then look into the json for an error, if yes then use the error code attribute ??
-
@noder It's worse. This API gives back actual HTTP codes, just arbitrarily picked ones. 10 for OK, 11 for a validation error, 16 for not found, etc.
And the content is not json or xml... it's key value data in strings with all kinds of smartass separators. -
@bittersweet yikes !!!

@bittersweet #define smart_ass_operators
I'm curious lol, worst I've encountered was some game with character stats defined as a pipe separated string with math expressions ..
Eg. 'hp:100^{level}|mp:30*{level}|...'

@bittersweet I think you should promote that from comment to rant, that's rediculous!
