When calling an API function, most of the times you either receive a success flag or an error message/object. (Some throw an exception). When the API does not throw exception do you generate application level exception or handle it with if/else structure?



My question is when your API either what it your way of handling such condition:



resposne=api.foo();

if(response!=truel)
 return response.error;



or



resposne=api.foo();

if(response!=true)
 throw exception (response.error);




api exception

Function to Return a JSON Like Objects Using VBA Collections and Arrays

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 1 down vote favorite My goal is to create a compact function that can create a JSON Like object from JSON string. I want a function with a small footprint that I or anyone who wants to use it, can simply paste into a module and use. At 61 lines of code, I am happy with its size and portability. Here is an image of JSON Object created from string data using a ScriptControl . Although the Locals Window displays the properties and values correctly, the object itself is extremely difficult to work with. This image shows an object created using getJSONCollection . Because it is made of VBA Collections and Arrays, it is very easy to work with. Option Explicit Private Function getJSONCollection(ByVal Value As Variant, Optional ScriptEngine As Object) As Variant Const DELIMITER As String = "||" Dim col As Collection, JSON As Object, KeyNam...

Will my employers contract hold up in court?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 8 down vote favorite 2 When I started a new job back in July of 2017, I signed a contract that had the following bindings or restrictions if I was ever to leave the company: Cannot work for a competitor within 25 miles of current companies location for the next two years Cannot offer my services to any organization within 25 miles of current companies location for the next two years Now, when mentioned “my services” this can be related to my profession of website design. This contract seems incredibly binding, 2 years in length, and I’m looking to see if it would actually hold up in an Arizona court. contract employment non-compete arizona share | improve this question edited Aug 7 at 15:35 feetwet ♦ 13.8k 9 37 85 asked Aug 6 at 19:05 Alex S. 46 2 What does your comp...
