# Exception Global String Constants

Two of the following global string constants identify exceptions generated by the
framework for Objective-C runtime errors and system exceptions such as invalid memory
accesses. The other constant is used as a key to access the stack trace in the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSException/userInfo-swift.property>
dictionary of an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSException>
object, when requested.
