Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document defines a concise "problem detail" as a way to carry
   machine-readable details of errors in a REST response to avoid the
   need to define new error response formats for REST APIs for
   constrained environments.  The format is inspired by, but intended to
   be more concise than, the Problem Details for HTTP APIs defined in
   RFC 7807.

Working Group Summary

   The document has reached sufficient and broad agreement in the group. There were no controversial parts. 
   Two alternative proposals where presented (bundled and unbundled) and one was agreed upon.


Document Quality

   There is at least one implementation, the basic idea behind the draft is rather
   straightforward. The WGLC went to the CBOR and HTTPAPI WGs as well.
   The document was also sent for review to theexperts in media-types@iana and 
   core-parameters@iana as well as the cbor-tags experts.

Personnel

   Jaime Jimenez is the Document Shepherd. Francesca Palombini is the Responsible Area Director.
