Explanation
The 3xx family of HTTP response codes indicates redirection-the client must take additional action (such as following a redirect URL) to complete the request. Examples include 301 Moved Permanently, 302 Found, and 304 Not Modified. The 2xx family (A) indicates success with no further action needed. The 4xx family (C) indicates client-side errors (e.g., 400 Bad Request, 404 Not Found). The 5xx family (D) indicates server-side errors (e.g., 500 Internal Server Error). This HTTP status code classification is a fundamental concept in REST API design and web development.
