Convert JSON string to dict using Python

Solution 1:

json.loads()

import json

d = json.loads(j)
print d['glossary']['title']

Solution 2:

When I started using json, I was confused and unable to figure it out for some time, but finally I got what I wanted
Here is the simple solution

import json
m = {'id': 2, 'name': 'hussain'}
n = json.dumps(m)
o = json.loads(n)
print(o['id'], o['name'])

Solution 3:

use simplejson or cjson for speedups

import simplejson as json

json.loads(obj)

or 

cjson.decode(obj)
