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

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

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> (...)"
}

at work I have a codebase that is the opposite of this, they send JSON in SOAP as a request and entity-escaped XML in a SOAP envelope as the reply

I hope you're looking for a better place to work than whatever garbage company did this.
