+# ThrowError Mediator
+
+The ThrowError mediator allows you to raise an error from the mediation sequence. The error type and message can be customized as required.
+
+!!! Info 
+    Errors thrown by the ThrowError mediator is handled by the onError sequence (if defined) or the default fault sequence.
+
+## Syntax
+
+``` java
+<!-- Error message as string -->
+<throw-error type="string" errorMessage="string"></throw-error>
+<!-- Dynamic error message -->
+<throw-error type="string" errorMessage="{string}"></throw-error>
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+Following examples demonstrate the use of Throw Error mediator.
+
+### Example 1
+
+The following API configuration demonstrates how to use the Throw Error mediator to raise an error when some required field is not present in the incoming payload.
+
+``` xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<api context="/testThrowError" name="TestThrowErrorMediatorAPI" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
+    <resource methods="POST">
+        <inSequence>
+            <filter xpath="${exists(payload.required)}">
+                <then>
+                    <log level="full"/>
+                    <respond/>
+                </then>
+                <else>
+                    <variable name="ERROR_MSG" value="Required field does not exist"/>
+                    <throwError type="PAYLOAD_ERROR" errorMessage="{${var.ERROR_MSG}}"/>
+                </else>
+            </filter>
+        </inSequence>
+        <faultSequence>
+            <log level="custom">
+                <property name="ERROR_CODE" expression="get-property('ERROR_CODE')"/>
+                <property name="ERROR_MESSAGE" expression="get-property('ERROR_MESSAGE')"/>
+            </log>
+            <drop/>
+        </faultSequence>
+    </resource>
+</api>
+```
+
+Invoking the above API with a payload that does not contain the required field will raise an error.
+```
+curl --location 'http://localhost:8290/testThrowError' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+--data '{
+    "Hello": "World"
+}'
+```
+
+Response log will contain the error message as follows.
+```
+INFO {LogMediator} - {api:TestThrowErrorMediatorAPI} ERROR_CODE = PAYLOAD_ERROR, ERROR_MESSAGE = Required field does not exist
+```
