# SyntaxError

The `Napi::SyntaxError` class is a representation of the JavaScript
`SyntaxError` that is thrown when the engine encounters tokens or token order
that does not conform to the syntax of the language when parsing code.

The `Napi::SyntaxError` class inherits its behaviors from the `Napi::Error`
class (for more info see: [`Napi::Error`](error.md)).

For more details about error handling refer to the section titled [Error
handling](error_handling.md).
