Parse and return string from JSON - Python

Question

Apologies if this comes on as a noob question as I totally am or a duplicate.

I have a file on a webserver that I need to parse. the location of the file is /var/www/html called test.json.

I want to parse it with a python script and return a version

{
"commit_id": "d44f19c",
"environment": "test",
"package_build_date": "15/05/2015",
"project": "devopstest",
"tags_at_commit": [
"v1.6.0-rc.1"
],
"version": "v1.6.0-rc.1"
}

Any help/guidance appreciated

@Selcuk I'm more concerned about how I access the file. The script is in a different folder — moh_abk, Mar 04 '16 at 10:28
Why are you concerned? Have you tried parsing it and failed? — Selcuk, Mar 04 '16 at 10:29
@Selcuk I can parse the file. But it's failing when importing it — moh_abk, Mar 04 '16 at 10:30
Importing _where_? I suggest that you edit your question and be more clear about your specific problem(s) then. See http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask — Selcuk, Mar 04 '16 at 10:31

Just use import json:

import json

with open('file.json', 'r') as f:
    json_data = json.load(f)
