Jack Fernandez enhanced the civiform/civiform repository by improving the resilience and user experience of the GeoJSON endpoint for map-related questions. He introduced dedicated exception types in Java to handle access, not found, and malformed URL errors, ensuring clearer diagnostics and more reliable backend behavior. On the frontend, Jack used HTML and Thymeleaf to update error messaging and styling, adding new CSS classes for consistent formatting and a sub-label to guide configuration. He also refactored the preview logic and improved applicant-side map behavior when GeoJSON data fails to load, reducing support inquiries and strengthening production reliability through thoughtful error handling.
