Which of the following allows validation operations to avoid throwing an error?

The capability to perform validation operations without throwing an error is most effectively realized through the use of DataWeave code directly. In DataWeave, you can manipulate data, perform checks, and instead of generating an error in cases of validation failures, you can programmatically handle the situation, such as returning a default value or a warning message, without disrupting the flow of the application.

Using DataWeave to implement custom validation logic gives you the fine-grained control to either process the data further or to return a specific response, thereby avoiding exceptions that could halt the execution. This makes it ideal for scenarios where you want to maintain application stability while still validating inputs or data transformations.

In contrast, returning a warning or implementing logging may notify users or help developers understand issues, but they do not directly facilitate the validation operation's avoidance of errors in the process logic itself. Variable assignments can help in managing data, but they do not inherently provide a mechanism that allows validation to bypass error generation.
