Exception
class Exception extends Error
The base of the hierarchy, extending Error. Catch this to catch everything the library throws and nothing else.
Every class in this hierarchy takes an optional message, another exception whose message it reuses, or nothing at all. isException recognises all of them; a plain Error is not one.
Examples
Throwing and catching
throw new Exception("something specific about this call");
try {
doWork();
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Exception) {
// handled
}
}
