+## Error handling
+
+Sputnik defines the following error types:
+
+```rust
+pub struct SimpleError {
+    pub code: StatusCode,
+    pub message: String,
+}
+
+pub enum Error {
+    Simple(SimpleError),
+    Response(hyper::Response<hyper::Body>),
+}
+```
+
+Sputnik implements `Into<Error::Simple>` for all of its client error types
+(e.g. deserialization errors), allowing you to easily customize the error
+presentation. Sometimes however a `SimpleError` doesn't suffice, e.g. you
+might want to redirect unauthorized users to your login page instead of
+showing them an error, for such cases you can return an `Error::Response`.
