+# Listing alternative responses and exceptions in your API types
+
+Servant allows you to talk about the exceptions you throw in your API
+types.  This is not limited to actual exceptions, you can write
+handlers that respond with arbitrary open unions of types.

+
+## The API
+
+This looks like a `Verb`-based routing table, except that `UVerb` has
+no status, and carries a list of response types rather than a single
+one.  Each entry in the list carries its own response code.
+
+```haskell
+type API =
+         "fisx"  :> Capture "bool" Bool
+         :> UVerb 'GET '[JSON] '[FisxUser, WithStatus 303 String]
+    :<|> "arian"
+         :> UVerb 'GET '[JSON] '[WithStatus 201 ArianUser]
+```
+
+Here are the details:
+
+```haskell
+data FisxUser = FisxUser {name :: String}
+  deriving (Eq, Show, GHC.Generic)
+
+instance ToJSON FisxUser
+instance FromJSON FisxUser
+instance ToSchema FisxUser
+
+-- | 'HasStatus' allows us to can get around 'WithStatus' if we want
+-- to, and associate the status code with our resource types directly.
+--
+-- (To avoid orphan instances and make it more explicit what's in the
+-- API and what isn't, we could even introduce a newtype 'Resource'
+-- that wraps all the types we're using in our routing table, and then
+-- define lots of 'HasStatus' instances for @Resource This@ and
+-- @Resource That@.)
+instance HasStatus FisxUser where
+  type StatusOf FisxUser = 203
+
+data ArianUser = ArianUser
+  deriving (Eq, Show, GHC.Generic)
+
+instance ToJSON ArianUser
+instance FromJSON ArianUser
+instance ToSchema ArianUser
+```
+
+## Server, Client, Swagger
+
+You can just respond with any of the elements of the union in handlers.
+
+```haskell
+fisx :: Bool -> Handler (Union '[FisxUser, WithStatus 303 String])
+fisx True = respond (FisxUser "fisx")
+fisx False = respond (WithStatus @303 ("still fisx" :: String))
+
+arian :: Handler (Union '[WithStatus 201 ArianUser])
+arian = respond (WithStatus @201 ArianUser)
+```
+
+You can create client functions like you're used to:
+
+```
+fisxClient :: Bool -> ClientM (Union '[FisxUser, WithStatus 303 String])
+arianClient :: ClientM (Union '[WithStatus 201 ArianUser])
+(fisxClient :<|> arianClient) = client (Proxy @API)
+```
+
+...  and that's basically it!  Here are a few sample commands that
+show you how the swagger docs look like and how you can handle the
+result unions in clients:
+
+```
+main :: IO ()
+main = do
+  putStrLn . cs . encodePretty $ toSwagger (Proxy @API)
+  _ <- async . Warp.run 8080 $ serve (Proxy @API) (fisx :<|> arian)
+  threadDelay 50000
+  mgr <- Client.newManager Client.defaultManagerSettings
+  let cenv = mkClientEnv mgr (BaseUrl Http "localhost" 8080 "")
+  result <- runClientM (fisxClient True) cenv
+  print $ foldMapUnion (Proxy @Show) show <$> result
+  print $ matchUnion @FisxUser <$> result
+  print $ matchUnion @(WithStatus 303 String) <$> result
+  pure ()
+```
+
+## Idiomatic exceptions
+
+Since `UVerb` (probably) will mostly be used for error-like responses, it may be desirable to be able to early abort handler, like with current servant one would use `throwError` with `ServerError`.
+
+```haskell
+newtype UVerbT xs m a = UVerbT { unUVerbT :: ExceptT (Union xs) m a }
+  deriving newtype (Functor, Applicative, Monad, MonadTrans)
+
+-- | Deliberately hide 'ExceptT's 'MonadError' instance to be able to use
+-- underlying monad's instance.
+instance MonadError e m => MonadError e (UVerbT xs m) where
+  throwError = lift . throwError
+  catchError (UVerbT act) h = UVerbT $ ExceptT $
+    runExceptT act `catchError` (runExceptT . unUVerbT . h)
+
+-- | This combinator runs 'UVerbT'. It applies 'respond' internally, so the handler
+-- may use the usual 'return'.
+runUVerbT :: (Monad m, HasStatus x, IsMember x xs) => UVerbT xs m x -> m (Union xs)
+runUVerbT (UVerbT act) = either id id <$> runExceptT (act >>= respond)
+
+-- | Short-circuit 'UVerbT' computation returning one of the response types.
+throwUVerb :: (Monad m, HasStatus x, IsMember x xs) => x -> UVerbT xs m a
+throwUVerb = UVerbT . ExceptT . fmap Left . respond
+```
+
+Example usage:
+
+```haskell
+data Foo = Foo Int Int Int
+  deriving (Show, Eq, GHC.Generic, ToJSON)
+  deriving HasStatus via WithStatus 200 Foo
+
+data Bar = Bar
+  deriving (Show, Eq, GHC.Generic, ToJSON)
+
+h :: Handler (Union '[Foo, WithStatus 400 Bar])
+h = runUVerbT $ do
+  when ({- something bad -} True) $
+    throwUVerb $ WithStatus @400 Bar
+
+  when ({- really bad -} False) $
+    throwError $ err500
+
+  -- a lot of code here...
+
+  return $ Foo 1 2 3
+```
+
+## Related Work
+
+There is the [issue from
+2017](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/841) that was
+resolved by the introduction of `UVerb`, with a long discussion on
+alternative designs.
+
+[servant-checked-exceptions](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-checked-exceptions)
+is a good solution to the problem, but it restricts the user to JSON
+and a very specific envelop encoding for the union type, which is
+often not acceptable.  (One good reason for this design choice is that
+it makes writing clients easier, where you need to get to the union
+type from one representative, and you don't want to run several
+parsers in the hope that the ones that should will always error out so
+you can try until the right one returns a value.)
+
+[servant-exceptions](https://github.com/ch1bo/servant-exceptions) is
+another shot at at the problem.  It is inspired by
+servant-checked-exceptions, so it may be worth taking a closer look.
+The README claims that
+[cardano-sl](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl) also has
+some code for generalized error handling.
+
+In an earier version of the `UVerb` implementation, we have used some
+code from
+[world-peace](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/world-peace), but
+that package itself wasn't flexible enough, and we had to use
+[sop-core](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sop-core) to implement
+the `HasServer` instance.
+
+Here is a blog post we found on the subject:
+https://lukwagoallan.com/posts/unifying-servant-server-error-responses
+
+(If you have anything else, please add it here or let us know.)
