Library ends program execution upon error instead of throwing exception

[lukemat-clear]

Describe the bug
When the code in utils.py encounters an error it just stops the program execution instead of throwing an exception or printing an error like standard libraries do.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Pass an invalid or incorrectly formatted JSON file to any function in utils.py (e.g. readfromstring, readfromjson)
2. The program will stop running completely.=

Expected behavior
When an error or exception is encountered, throw an exception for the caller to catch instead of exiting the program.

@lukemat-clear Thanks for this issue. Upon thinking more on this, I think you are right, It should rather throw an exception instead of halting the program execution.

@lukemat-clear Fixed here 1a0e782

The latest version 3.6.0 is released to PyPI and has the correct behaviour. Thanks for pointing this out. I am closing this issue, please re-open if this is not as expected..
