Gracefully handling errors is what sets mediocre code apart from great code. From handling missing values and simple initialization failure with optionals to providing greater diagnostic detail using full-featured error types, Swift provides language features to make your code robust and informative in the face of errors.\n                <\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details data-track-progress-content-id=\"47230253\" data-completed-class=\"child-content--completed\">\n<summary>\n<\/summary>\n<p>\n                  Swift has a powerful system for saving and loading your types to and from, for example, a file system, over the internet or some other communication channel.
