Rest API - Error Handling

Identify the error in this nested error JSON snippet:

{
  "errors": {
    "phone": "Invalid",
    "phone": {
      "format": "Wrong",
      "length": "Too short"
    }
  }
}

AThe nested object under 'phone' is invalid JSON

BThe error messages should be numbers, not strings

CDuplicate keys for 'phone' cause the first to be overwritten

DThe 'errors' key must be an array, not an object

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check for duplicate keys in JSON
JSON objects cannot have duplicate keys; the second 'phone' overwrites the first.
Step 2: Understand impact on error reporting
This causes the simple string error to be lost, only nested errors remain.
Final Answer:
Duplicate keys for 'phone' cause the first to be overwritten -> Option C
Quick Check:
Duplicate JSON keys overwrite earlier ones [OK]

Quick Trick: JSON keys must be unique; duplicates overwrite [OK]
