You can check implemented API endpoints with the swagger UI configured in the app with http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/#/ after running the app

All API end points use the BaseResponse object as thier response payload, set the status code, description and data where necessary. errors gotten from exceptions would be put in the errors object during runtime. see example response from getting the user types below

{
    "statusCode": 200,
    "description": "user types found succesfully",
    "data": [
        {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Member"
        },
        {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Guest"
        }
    ],
    "errors": null
}

setting HttpServletResponse.SC_OK (200) as the statusCode in the response payload for all successfull and HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST (400) for all failed operations. only uses HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR (500) when you try to catch an internal server error during an operation.
