# nlohmann::basic_json::exception
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
class exception : public std::exception;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This class is an extension of [`std::exception`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/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.

Subclasses:
|
|
|
|
- [`parse_error`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse_error/index.md) for exceptions indicating a parse error
|
|
- [`invalid_iterator`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/invalid_iterator/index.md) for exceptions indicating errors with iterators
|
|
- [`type_error`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/type_error/index.md) for exceptions indicating executing a member function with a wrong type
|
|
- [`out_of_range`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/out_of_range/index.md) for exceptions indicating access out of the defined range
|
|
- [`other_error`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/other_error/index.md) for exceptions indicating other library errors
|
|
|
|
## Member functions
|
|
|
|
- **what** - returns explanatory string
|
|
|
|
## Member variables
|
|
|
|
- **id** - the id of the exception
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
To have nothrow-copy-constructible exceptions, we internally use `std::runtime_error` which can cope with arbitrary-length error messages. Intermediate strings are built with static functions and then passed to the actual constructor.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
|
|
The following code shows how arbitrary library exceptions can be caught.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
|
|
|
|
using json = nlohmann::json;
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
try
|
|
{
|
|
// calling at() for a non-existing key
|
|
json j = {{"foo", "bar"}};
|
|
json k = j.at("non-existing");
|
|
}
|
|
catch (const json::exception& e)
|
|
{
|
|
// output exception information
|
|
std::cout << "message: " << e.what() << '\n'
|
|
<< "exception id: " << e.id << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
message: [json.exception.out_of_range.403] key 'non-existing' not found
|
|
exception id: 403
|
|
```
