Corrupted json data will not display any contacts #214

For the above contact in the addressbook.json file, I have edited the Date Joined to be "a/b/c". This would be an invalid date.

Afterwards, I re-opened the application again. On the application display, none of the other contacts are displayed

Afterwards, if the user exits with the exit command (which could be a natural thing to do for the user after facing that scenario), the data in the addressbook.json would be gone (since empty contacts were overwritten over the file)
