+# Error Details
+
+This example demonstrates how to send and receive rich error details in gRPC using the standard `google.rpc` error model.
+
+## Overview
+
+The example uses the `@q42philips/node-grpc-error-details` package to:
+- **Server**: Serialize error details (like `BadRequest`) into the `grpc-status-details-bin` metadata
+- **Client**: Deserialize error details from the metadata
+
+This follows the official gRPC error model specification.
+
+## Start the server
+
+Run the server, which sends a rich error if the name field is empty:
+
+```bash
+node server.js
+```
+
+## Run the client
+
+In another terminal, run the client which makes two calls:
+1. A successful call with a valid name
+2. A failing call with an empty name that receives rich error details
+
+```bash
+node client.js
+```
+
+## Expected Output
+
+The client makes two calls and displays both results:
+
+**Successful call:**
+```
+Greeting: Hello World
+```
+
+**Failed call with standard error and rich error details:**
+```
+--- Standard gRPC Error Received ---
+Code: 3
+Status: INVALID_ARGUMENT
+Message: Simple Error: The name field was empty.
+
+--- Rich Error Details---
+Violation: [
+  {
+    "field": "name",
+    "description": "Name field is required"
+  }
+]
+```
