<dd><p>Deserialize <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">s</span></tt> (a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">str</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unicode</span></tt> instance containing a JSON
document) to a Python object.</p>
<p>If <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">s</span></tt> is a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">str</span></tt> instance and is encoded with an ASCII based encoding
other than utf-8 (e.g. latin-1) then an appropriate <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">encoding</span></tt> name
must be specified. Encodings that are not ASCII based (such as UCS-2)
are not allowed and should be decoded to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unicode</span></tt> first.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_hook</span></tt> is an optional function that will be called with the
result of any object literal decode (a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dict</span></tt>). The return value of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_hook</span></tt> will be used instead of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dict</span></tt>. This feature
can be used to implement custom decoders (e.g. JSON-RPC class hinting).</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_pairs_hook</span></tt> is an optional function that will be called with the
result of any object literal decoded with an ordered list of pairs. The
return value of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_pairs_hook</span></tt> will be used instead of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dict</span></tt>.
This feature can be used to implement custom decoders that rely on the
order that the key and value pairs are decoded (for example,
collections.OrderedDict will remember the order of insertion). If
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_hook</span></tt> is also defined, the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_pairs_hook</span></tt> takes priority.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parse_float</span></tt>, if specified, will be called with the string
of every JSON float to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to
float(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser
for JSON floats (e.g. decimal.Decimal).</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parse_int</span></tt>, if specified, will be called with the string
of every JSON int to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to
int(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser
for JSON integers (e.g. float).</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parse_constant</span></tt>, if specified, will be called with one of the
following strings: -Infinity, Infinity, NaN, null, true, false.
This can be used to raise an exception if invalid JSON numbers
are encountered.</p>
<p>To use a custom <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">JSONDecoder</span></tt> subclass, specify it with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cls</span></tt>
kwarg; otherwise <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">JSONDecoder</span></tt> is used.</p>
