All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class StringerException

extends java.lang.Exception

This is the generic superclass for all the checked exceptions thrown in Stringer. Exceptions that depend on environmental conditions, such as might occur when parsing an external file, are checked exceptions, because these depend on variable input, and thus problems may not all be detected during testing.
