	statusCodes[404];
		
	/** 
	
	Returns:
	
	{
		"status": 404,
		"name": "Not Found",
		"message": "The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI."
	}
	
	**/
	
	// OR use a get method that has a fallback to a code 400 if it doesn't find a valid code
	
	statusCodes.get(536727);
	
	/** 
	
	Returns:
	
	{
		"status": 400,
		"name": "Bad Request",
		"message": "The server cannot or will not process the request."
	}
	
	**/

		"message": "The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI."
	}
