What would be the best way to handle errors in an Express application when building RESTful APIs?
- Using try...catch blocks in route handlers
- Sending 404 Not Found for all errors
- Using console.log() for error messages
- Not handling errors, let them crash the server
The best way to handle errors in an Express application when building RESTful APIs is to use try...catch blocks in route handlers. This allows you to catch errors and send appropriate HTTP responses with error details. Sending 404 Not Found for all errors is not a good practice, and letting errors crash the server is even worse. Console.log() is generally used for debugging but not for handling errors.
