Hello, I'm currently developing/using a library which uses ktor http client to expose common function for calling other services. The thing is I'm calling this library from java code and I know ktor calls (eg `<http://httpClient.post|httpClient.post>(...)`) may throw some exceptions that are checked in java. Instead of annotating all my functions with `@Throws` wanted to understand if it would make sense to use a response exception handler and wrap all checked exceptions into `RuntimeException` s. What are your opinions? Thanks in advance :smile:

We have also moved our network calls out to a separate lib, and all calls return an `Either&lt;ApiError, T&gt;`. (`Either` comes from <#C5UPMM0A0|arrow>.) That works great for us. And both Ktor and Arrow are multiplatform, so there are options for other platforms to hook into it, too, although I doubt it'll happen anytime soon in our case. :sweat_smile:

Ya thats a great ideia I also prefer functional approach of returning instead of exception mechanism! But we were looking to keep it "transparent" for java side
