This was initially described in https://github.com/Thalhammer/jwt-cpp/issues/212. Please add new class derived from std::system_error, and derive all jwt-cpp exceptions from it. This would allow to write bigger block of code, and at the end add few catch sections for different kinds of errors (e.g. network error, jwt validation error, etc.). You also could store some extra information in additional fields of exception class, e.g. name of claim which did not pass validation.
