How to convert string to JSON using Python?

To convert a JSON string to a dictionary using json.loads(). This method accepts a valid json string and returns a dictionary in which you can access all elements. For example,

>>> import json
>>> s = '{"success": "true", "status": 200, "message": "Hello"}'
>>> d = json.loads(s)
>>> print d["success"], d["status"]
true 200

If you have a json file instead and want to construct a dict out of it, you can use the json.load() method.
