When should I use try-catch vs Express error handling?

When should I use try-catch in my Node.js application?

You should use try-catch for synchronous code to handle exceptions that may occur during execution.

What about error handling in Express? How is it different?

In Express, you use middleware for error handling, which allows you to manage errors in asynchronous routes more effectively.

Can you give me an example of using try-catch in an Express route?

Sure! You can wrap your route logic in a try-catch block to catch any synchronous errors that occur.

Is it a good practice to mix both methods?

It's generally better to use one method consistently, but you can mix them if needed, just be cautious about error propagation.
