Generic parsing errors

Error codeDescription

MalformedJson

Malformed JSON or the mandatory elements are missing. The exception message includes complete information about the structural errors or JSON parsing errors.

Missing elements

The following list shows error codes for the mandatory elements missing per page type. The mandatory nature of these elements is conditional to the type property of the message. Therefore, these elements are marked as "[Optional]", but must be included for certain message types.

These error codes cover situations where elements were expected but not found, either because the element was missing, misspelled or had a different type, structure, or incorrect child elements.
