unhandled exception and "throws JSONexception" - what does it all mean?

private Forecast parseForecastDetails(String jsonData) { Forecast forecast = new Forecast();

    forecast.setCurrent(getCurrentDetails(jsonData));

    return forecast;
}

getCurrentDetails(jsonData)) has error unhandled exception and solution is to add "throws JSONexception" after method declaration

SO. what is all this throwing and catching? what are exceptions why do they need to be handled and thrown?, i think i missed this first time i went through videos and i dont know what to google to find them again
