# Error

When a request cannot be fulfilled, an error object is returned. Use the *error* object when the reason of the error should be specified, for example, in a user interface. The object has the following properties:

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Property` | String | A human readable message containing a description of the error |
| `Message` | Object | An *optional* dictionary object containing validation results for various properties |

## Example

```json
{
  "IPMS": "Property 'IPMS' does not match its validation expression"
}

```
