# Message Formats
## Response Message Format
All response messages MUST support the [`application/vnd.siren+json`](https://github.com/kevinswiber/siren) (Siren) format.
All **response** messages MUST support the [`application/vnd.siren+json`](https://github.com/kevinswiber/siren) (Siren) format.
The format MUST not be used directly but instead it MUST be used as the base format for every application or domain-specific format.
The Siren format MUST NOT be used **directly**, instead it MUST be used as the **base format** for every application or domain-specific format to convey specific semantics. E.g. `application/vnd.example.siren+json`
### Error Response Format
The [`application/problem+json`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7807) (Problem Detail) MUST be used in conjunction with Siren to communicate details about an error.

[`application/json`](http://www.json.org)
Data body **request** messages MUST support the [`application/json`](http://www.json.org) (JSON) format.
