Let us see how to deserialize a JSON document into a Python object. Deserialization is the process of decoding the data that is in JSON format into native data type. In Python, deserialization decodes JSON data into a dictionary(data type in python).

We will be using these methods of the json module to perform this task :

• loads() : to deserialize a JSON document to a Python object.
• load() : to deserialize a JSON formatted stream ( which supports reading from a file) to a Python object.

Example 1 : Using the loads() function.

Output :

Datatype before deserailization : 
Datatype after deserailization : 

Example 2 : Using the load() function. We have to deserialize a file named file.json.
