Graceful Error Handling with Try...Catch

Graceful Error Handling with Try...Catch

The try...catch block prevents your application from crashing when an error occurs. You 'try' a block of code, and if it fails, the 'catch' block handles the error.

javascript
try {
  const data = JSON.parse("{ invalid json }");
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Failed to parse data:", error.message);
}

nextjs
