Handle QR Code Errors

See more QR Code Examples

Demonstrates what happens when a request is refused. QrCode returns false and the response holds errors[0] with three members: a code that does not change between versions, the path of the request member at fault (a JSON Pointer such as /encoding/qr/version), and a message. Requests are checked strictly, so a misspelled option is an error rather than being silently ignored. LastErrorText has the same information in more detail.
