There is a way to return a custom error message in json

public function execute() {
 $resultJson = $this->resultJsonFactory->create();
 $message = $this->getRequest()->getParam('message');
 if (strlen($message) < 3) { 
 $resultJson->setData('Message too short'); // error
 } else {
 $resultJson->setData('true'); // success
 }
 return $resultJson;
}
