Inside your error-handling middleware, you can check the type of error using `err instanceof MyCustomError` (if you have custom error classes) or `err.name` (to check the error name, like 'ValidationError'). Based on the error type, you can send different responses or perform different actions. This allows for more tailored error handling based on the specific problem encountered.
