As of the title, I am curious if responding with a body of a JSON object that includes `errors: []` is spec-compliant. The spec states that > Servers MUST respond with a `415 Unsupported Media Type` status code if a request specifies the header `Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json` with any media type parameters. It does not have any details on the body of the response. Thanks ---

Yeah, responding with `"errors"` in the body should be ok! The spec doesn’t mandate exactly what the error’s title, code, etc. should be, so I think you can fill those in with your own values as appropriate (assuming they comply with the general rules for the meaning of those values). ---
