This commit fixes an issue where the API client would crash with JSON parsing errors when a model returns whitespace-only content (spaces, newlines, etc.) during structured output parsing.
Changes being requested
Changes:
This fixes cases where users were getting "EOF while parsing a value" errors when using client.beta.chat.completions.parse with models that occasionally return only whitespace instead of structured JSON.
With this change, parsing whitespace-only content now returns None for the parsed field instead of raising an exception, with an appropriate warning logged.
