Difference between HTTPException and Response

[riwu]

Is there any difference between return Response(status_code=404) and raise HTTPException(status_code=404)?
Which is recommended and why?

Simply, the response with status code would return directly, raised errors would get caught by error handlers.

I'd go with returning a custom response that describes what went wrong instead of raising an error.

Or I would write an exception handler that caughts the exception and returns a custom response that describes what went wrong.

I believe it's just a design decision you need to make.
