Applications running in Node.js will generally experience four categories of
errors:

- Standard JavaScript errors such as:
- {EvalError} : thrown when a call to `eval()` fails.
- {SyntaxError} : thrown in response to improper JavaScript language
syntax.
- {RangeError} : thrown when a value is not within an expected range
- {ReferenceError} : thrown when using undefined variables
- {TypeError} : thrown when passing arguments of the wrong type
- {URIError} : thrown when a global URI handling function is misused.
- Standard JavaScript errors such as {EvalError}, {SyntaxError}, {RangeError},
{ReferenceError}, {TypeError}, and {URIError}.
- System errors triggered by underlying operating system constraints such
as attempting to open a file that does not exist, attempting to send data
over a closed socket, etc;
- And User-specified errors triggered by application code.
- `AssertionError`s are a special class of error that can be triggered whenever
as attempting to open a file that does not exist or attempting to send data
over a closed socket.
- User-specified errors triggered by application code.
- `AssertionError`s are a special class of error that can be triggered when
Node.js detects an exceptional logic violation that should never occur. These
are raised typically by the `assert` module.
