+# Error Handling
+
+## Try-Catch
+
+  Using generators means that you can try-catch `next`. For example,
+  this example prepends all error messages with "Error: "
+
+  ```js
+  app.use(function*(next){
+    try {
+      yield next;
+    } catch (error) {
+      error.message = 'Error: ' + error.message;
+      throw error;
+    }
+  });
+  ```
+
+### Default Error Handler
+
+  The default error handler is essentially a try-catch at
+  the very beginning of the middleware chain. To use a
+  different error handler, simply put another try-catch at
+  the beginning of the middleware chain, and handle the error
+  there. However, the default error handler is good enough for
+  most use cases. It will use a status code of `err.status`,
+  or by default 500. If `err.expose` is true, then `err.message`
+  will be the reply. Otherwise, a message generated from the
+  error code will be used (e.g. for the code 500 the message
+  "Internal Server Error" will be used). All headers will be
+  cleared from the request, but any headers in `err.headers`
+  will then be set. You can use a try-catch, as specified
+  above, to add a header to this list.
+
+## The Error Event
+
+  Error handlers can be specified with `app.on('error')`.
+  If no error handler is specified, a default error handler
+  is used. Error handlers recieve all errors that make their
+  way back through the middleware chain, if an error is caught
+  and not thrown again, it will not be handled by the error
+  handler. If not error event handler is specified, then
+  `app.onerror` will be used, which simply log the error if
+  `error.expose` is true and `app.silent` is false.
