This function determines which of the supported media types, if
any, are acceptable by the client, and serializes the error
to the preferred type.
Currently, JSON and XML are the only supported media types. If the
client accepts both JSON and XML with equal weight, JSON will be
chosen.
Other media types can be supported by using a custom error serializer.
Note:
If a custom media type is used and the type includes a
"+json" or "+xml" suffix, the error will be serialized
to JSON or XML, respectively. If this behavior is not
desirable, a custom error serializer may be used to
override this one.
