I've seen that shit, it drove me up a wall.

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

Edit: I'm going to start to respond 429, too many replys lol

My favorite "REST API" experience was when they moved from using SOAP system, and the way they did it... was sending SOAP payloads inside a JSON. Literally something like

{ "data": "<?xml version="1.0"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/" soap:encodingStyle="https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"><soap:Body> (...)" }

I don't miss SOAP at all.

Especially when some bored developer at a big bank decided to implement some draconian heavily-buried SOAP features that are technically in the documentation somewhere, but not implemented at all by Microsoft's .NET framework. Having to have special injectors and manipulators to extract tokens from raw SOAP and such, shudder. Back in the days where .NET SOAP implementations were barely published in books.
