for... discord?

you mean for java?

if you need 10 try/catches per class that seems like an issue in its own right, not necessarily just of try/catch

i believe jda does have a functional api for that though

these for example, i believe
https://ci.dv8tion.net/job/JDA/javadoc/net/dv8tion/jda/api/requests/RestAction.html#onErrorMap(java.util.function.Function) (v4)
https://javadoc.io/doc/net.dv8tion/JDA/latest/net/dv8tion/jda/api/requests/RestAction.html#onErrorMap(java.util.function.Function) (v5)

i honestly have no idea what you mean by that

discord doesn't change its api in breaking ways very often

but that isn't really relevant?

throws is used for methods to specify what checked exceptions they throw, not to handle throwing itself

can you show what you're trying/want to do

that's not how throws works

throws is used to propagate errors

try/catch is used to actually handle the errors

if you aren't using checked exceptions, then you don't need a throws to propagate them, they're propagated by default

throws is just required for checked exceptions, as part of the method signature

throws is not an alternative to try/catch

i feel like you don't understand exceptions as a whole tbh; might want to brush up on that
https://dev.java/learn/exceptions/

[silent bramble]

there isn't one
if you don't want the exception system entirely, look into using the functional apis of JDA as i mentioned

or attempt to avoid causing exceptions by implementing checks instead of trying & catching, wherever possible

with try/catch

that's what it's for

if you already have an exception, try..catch is how you handle it, or you can propagate it to the caller of the method to handle it instead (still with try..catch)
all i've mentioned above is to avoid exceptions

no, there literally isn't

you don't catch exceptions with stuff other than try/catch/finally or try-with-resources

i tried to ask what you actually mean by api, since you seem to be confusing the scope of it, but apparently that's not relevant?

god im so confused on what your question is

if you can clarify your question i'd be happy to try to answer again
