function foo() {
  throw new Exception("Error in foo");

function bar() {
  try {
    foo();
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Exception("Error in bar", err);
  }

  bar();
} catch (err) {

Serialization

Exception object can easily serialized to JSON with JSON.stringify(). Following properties are serialized (if present):

• name
• message
• code
• data
• signal
• cause (recursively). If property value is function - it is executed to acquire actual value.

toObject()

Class has method err.toObject() which returns serialized error object with stack property containing stack trace.

Exception.errSerializer(err, showStack = true)

Static method to serialize any Error object.
