Python json.loads shows ValueError: Extra data

Answer 1

I came across this because I was trying to load a JSON file dumped from MongoDB. It was giving me an error

JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 2 column 1

The MongoDB JSON dump has one object per line, so what worked for me is:

import json
data = [json.loads(line) for line in open('data.json', 'r')]
