	get() could include try/catch.
	Inside would fetch from iBL and parse response.
	Parse can throw errors from each errored process inside _parseResponse().
	Remove handleErrors() and _getIblError, add _parseResponse().
	Response is moved to instance var (debatable, would give object a state).
	checkJsonError does not throw anything unless finds an error.
	Below an example, not complete:


	private function _parseResponse() {
