# JSON_CATCH_USER, JSON_THROW_USER, JSON_TRY_USER
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// (1)
|
||||
#define JSON_CATCH_USER(exception) /* value */
|
||||
// (2)
|
||||
#define JSON_THROW_USER(exception) /* value */
|
||||
// (3)
|
||||
#define JSON_TRY_USER /* value */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Controls how exceptions are handled by the library.
|
||||
|
||||
1. This macro overrides [`#!cpp catch`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/try_catch) calls inside the library.
|
||||
The argument is the type of the exception to catch. As of version 3.8.0, the library only catches `std::out_of_range`
|
||||
exceptions internally to rethrow them as [`json::out_of_range`](../../home/exceptions.md#out-of-range) exceptions.
|
||||
The macro is always followed by a scope.
|
||||
2. This macro overrides `#!cpp throw` calls inside the library. The argument is the exception to be thrown. Note that
|
||||
`JSON_THROW_USER` should leave the current scope (e.g., by throwing or aborting), as continuing after it may yield
|
||||
undefined behavior.
|
||||
3. This macro overrides `#!cpp try` calls inside the library. It has no arguments and is always followed by a scope.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
`exception` (in)
|
||||
: an exception type
|
||||
|
||||
## Default definition
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the macros map to their respective C++ keywords:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define JSON_CATCH_USER(exception) catch(exception)
|
||||
#define JSON_THROW_USER(exception) throw exception
|
||||
#define JSON_TRY_USER try
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When exceptions are switched off, the `#!cpp try` block is executed unconditionally, and throwing exceptions is
|
||||
replaced by calling [`std::abort`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/abort) to make reaching the
|
||||
`#!cpp throw` branch abort the process.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define JSON_THROW_USER(exception) std::abort()
|
||||
#define JSON_TRY_USER if (true)
|
||||
#define JSON_CATCH_USER(exception) if (false)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
??? example
|
||||
|
||||
The code below switches off exceptions and creates a log entry with a detailed error message in case of errors.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#include <iostream>
|
||||
|
||||
#define JSON_TRY_USER if(true)
|
||||
#define JSON_CATCH_USER(exception) if(false)
|
||||
#define JSON_THROW_USER(exception) \
|
||||
{std::clog << "Error in " << __FILE__ << ":" << __LINE__ \
|
||||
<< " (function " << __FUNCTION__ << ") - " \
|
||||
<< (exception).what() << std::endl; \
|
||||
std::abort();}
|
||||
|
||||
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
|
||||
```
