Hi Dakshita, I am really worried about the structure of the response rather than what values it should output. What I wanted to tell is every API call should send response adhering to that format regardless of the fields it has.
For a REST client for Stratos, http status code is important in very few occasions, rather client is more interested in the back end error message.
