Custom Exception

Definitions

1. A programmer-defined exception class or type that represents a specific failure case more precisely than generic exceptions. Custom exceptions can improve debugging and recovery logic by making failure categories explicit.

   In plain English: An exception type created for a specific kind of failure.

   Example: "The parser raised a custom exception when a schema reference pointed to a missing version so callers could report a better error message."
