message < Error < JavaScript

Error objects are thrown when runtime errors occur. The Error object can also be used as a base object for user-defined exceptions. Besides the base Error constructor, there are other more-specific error constructors in JavaScript such as EvalError, SyntaxError, TypeError, etc. The message property of an Error object is a human-readable description of the error.

    
    const error = new Error("Could not parse input");

    throw error;

    console.log(error.message);
    // "error.message is '"Could not parse input"
