# ExceptionCatcher
> Catch [Objective-C exceptions](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Exceptions/Tasks/HandlingExceptions.html) in Swift
There are many Cocoa APIs that can throw exceptions that cannot be caught in Swift (`NSKeyedUnarchiver`, `NSTask`, `NSObject#value(forKey:)`, etc). This package wraps an Objective-C exception handler to make it possible to catch such exceptions.
*The ability to catch exceptions should really be built into Swift. If you agree, duplicate [this](https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/74) Feedback Assistant report.*
## Install
Add the following to `Package.swift`:
```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/sindresorhus/ExceptionCatcher", from: "2.0.0")
```
[Or add the package in Xcode.](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/adding_package_dependencies_to_your_app)
## Usage
```swift
import Foundation
import ExceptionCatcher
final class Foo: NSObject {}
do {
let value = try ExceptionCatcher.catch {
return Foo().value(forKey: "nope")
}
print("Value:", value)
} catch {
print("Error:", error.localizedDescription)
//=> Error: [valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key nope.
debugPrint(error)
/*
