What are some common validation errors in Django Rest Framework?

Some common validation errors in Django Rest Framework include missing required fields, invalid data types, and unique constraint violations.

Can you give me an example of a missing required field error?

Sure! If you have a serializer with a required field like 'username' and you try to submit data without it, you'll get a validation error stating that 'username' is required.

What about unique constraint violations?

A unique constraint violation occurs when you try to create an object with a field that must be unique, like an email address, and the email already exists in the database.

How can I handle these validation errors in my API?

You can handle validation errors by customizing the serializer's validate method or by using exception handling in your views to return user-friendly error messages.
