Building My First API Package (ARIPack)

Hi everyone 👋
I’m still a beginner in backend development, and I’m trying to learn by building real things instead of just reading docs.
As part of that process, I built ARIPack — a small API Response & Error Intelligence Package.
Why I built this
When learning APIs, I often got confused by:

  • Inconsistent response formats

  • Error messages that didn’t
    really explain what went wrong

  • Debugging that took longer than it should

So I tried to solve a small part of that problem for myself by creating ARIPack.

What ARIPack does (for now)

  1. Helps standardize API responses

  2. Makes error handling a bit more structured

  3. Focuses on readability and learning good practices

It’s small, imperfect, and still evolving — very much a learning project.

Current status
🚧 Early stage

Looking for feedback 🙏
I’m sharing this openly to learn.
If you have suggestions, critiques, or better ways to approach API responses and error handling, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading, and thanks to this community for encouraging learning in public 🤍
