Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, JSON_USE_EXCEPTION=0 results in abort() calls instead of exception throwing, which may be undesirable for some clients.
Describe the solution you'd like
A more rigorous solution allowing the client to determine if they want to abort, or just ignore/retry/handle the error some other way.

Research direction
Start by tracing how JSON_USE_EXCEPTION=0 reaches abort() calls in the JSON library. Define the client-selectable behavior requested in the issue, including whether clients can ignore, retry, or handle errors without aborting. Done means the behavior is specified and implemented without forcing abort() for every client.
