    // Print 500

    console.log(HTTPStatus.REST.C201_CREATED);

Code example

	/**
     * Commonly used for REST Apis
     */
    REST: {
        200: 'OK', // When a successful GET, PUT, PATCH or DELETE. Can also be used for a POST that doesn't result in a creation.
        201: 'Created', // When a POST that results in a creation. Should be combined with a Location header pointing to the location of the new resource
        204: 'No Content', // When a successful request won't be returning a body (like a DELETE request)
        302: 'Found', // When a successful request as a query returns results
        304: 'Not Modified', // When HTTP caching headers are in play
        400: 'Bad Request', // When request is malformed, such as if the body does not parse
        401: 'Unauthorized', // When no or invalid authentication details are provided. Also useful to trigger an auth popup if the API is used from a browser
        403: 'Forbidden', // When authentication succeeded but authenticated user doesn't have access to the resource
        404: 'Not Found', // When a non-existent resource is requested
        405: 'Method Not Allowed', // When an HTTP method is being requested that isn't allowed for the authenticated user
        410: 'Gone', // When the resource at this end point is no longer available. Useful as a blanket response for old API versions
        415: 'Unsupported Media Type', // When an incorrect content type was provided as part of the request
        422: 'Unprocessable Entity', // When there's  validation errors
        429: 'Too Many Requests', // When a request is rejected due to rate limiting
        500: 'Internal Server Error', // When there's unknown technical errors
