This bundle is usually used in conjunction with the [FOSRestBundle](https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle) for returning readable exception messages.

By default, when a controller throws an exception, a response is returned with a status code of 500 and the content set to `"internal error`". The problem, however, is that exceptions you throw which contain helpful information are lost.

This means you have no way of providing useful error messages to developers who are going to use your API, and your UI application has no way of providing helpful messages to end users.

This bundle makes that as easy as a simple `composer install` and registration of the bundle in your `AppKernel`.
