How to convert text to json in python?

We can use json.loads() function.

For example:

import json

js = '''{
        "id": "123321233",
        "audio": {"aid": "aaa", "bits": 16, "chnl": 1, "encoding": 1, "offset": 0, "rate": 8000, "spnk": 1
        }
    }'''

data = json.loads(js)
print(type(data))
print(data)

Run this code, we will get:

<class 'dict'>
{'id': '123321233', 'audio': {'aid': 'aaa', 'bits': 16, 'chnl': 1, 'encoding': 1, 'offset': 0, 'rate': 8000, 'spnk': 1}}

We can find:
