basic_json::exception

class exception : public std::exception;

This class is an extension of std::exception objects with a member id for exception ids. It is used as the base class for all exceptions thrown by the basic_json class. This class can hence be used as "wildcard" to catch exceptions, see example below.

std::exception <|-- basic_json::exception
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::parse_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::invalid_iterator
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::type_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::out_of_range
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::other_error

interface std::exception {}

class basic_json::exception #FFFF00 {
    + const int id
    + const char* what() const
}

class basic_json::parse_error {
    + const std::size_t byte
}

Subclasses:

• parse_error for exceptions indicating a parse error
• invalid_iterator for exceptions indicating errors with iterators
• type_error for exceptions indicating executing a member function with a wrong type
• out_of_range for exceptions indicating access out of the defined range
• other_error for exceptions indicating other library errors

Member functions

• what - returns explanatory string

Member variables

• id - the id of the exception

Example

??? example

The following code shows how arbitrary library exceptions can be caught.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/exception.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/exception.output"
```
