### 12) Handling and serializing exceptions
When Lyng code throws an exception, it is caught in Kotlin as an `ExecutionError`. This error wraps the actual Lyng `Obj` that was thrown (which could be a built-in `ObjException` or a user-defined `ObjInstance`).
To simplify handling these objects from Kotlin, several extension methods are provided on the `Obj` class. These methods work uniformly regardless of whether the exception is built-in or user-defined.
#### Uniform Exception API
| Method | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `obj.isLyngException()` | Returns `true` if the object is an instance of `Exception`. |
| `obj.isInstanceOf("ClassName")` | Returns `true` if the object is an instance of the named Lyng class or its ancestors. |
| `obj.getLyngExceptionMessage(scope)` | Returns the exception message as a Kotlin `String`. |
| `obj.getLyngExceptionString(scope)` | Returns a formatted string including the class name, message, and primary throw site. |
| `obj.getLyngExceptionStackTrace(scope)` | Returns the stack trace as an `ObjList` of `StackTraceEntry`. |
| `obj.getLyngExceptionExtraData(scope)` | Returns the extra data associated with the exception. |
| `obj.raiseAsExecutionError(scope)` | Rethrows the object as a Kotlin `ExecutionError`. |
#### Example: Serialization and Rethrowing
You can serialize Lyng exception objects using `Lynon` to transmit them across boundaries and then rethrow them.
```kotlin
try {
scope.eval("throw MyUserException(404, \"Not Found\")")
} catch (e: ExecutionError) {
// 1. Serialize the Lyng exception object
val encoded: UByteArray = lynonEncodeAny(scope, e.errorObject)
// ... (transmit 'encoded' byte array) ...
// 2. Deserialize it back to an Obj in a different context
val decoded: Obj = lynonDecodeAny(scope, encoded)
// 3. Properly rethrow it on the Kotlin side using the uniform API
decoded.raiseAsExecutionError(scope)
}
```

That’s it. You now have Lyng embedded in your Kotlin app: you can expose your app’s API, evaluate user scripts, and organize your own packages to import from Lyng code.
