2. Business Logic:

   • Computes the subtotal for each order as the sum of quantity * unit_price for all items.
   • Applies a 10% discount if the subtotal exceeds $500.
   • Adds 7.5% VAT to the final discounted total.

3. Output:

   • Saves the processed orders to an output.json file.
   • Prints a summary table to the console showing key details of each order.

4. Error Handling:

   • Handles file not found, invalid JSON, and other runtime exceptions gracefully.

   • Store results in ProcessedOrder objects.

3. Output:

   • Serialize the processed orders into a JSON file.
   • Display a formatted summary table in the console.

4. Error Handling:

   • Validate input data and handle missing or invalid entries.
   • Use try-catch blocks to manage runtime exceptions.
