JSON load error: extra data

Question

i am trying to load a json file through following code

import json

with open('ass1//data//reviews_Digital_Music.json', encoding="utf8") as f:
    review = json.load(f,encoding="utf8")

Return error

C:\Users\Admin\Anaconda3\lib\json\decoder.py", line 342, in decode
raise JSONDecodeError("Extra data", s, end)
JSONDecodeError: Extra data

for more insight you can find part of my json file, the document has 10000 more such dictionary

{"reviewerID": "A2EFCYXHNK06IS","asin": "5555991584", "reviewerName": "Abigail Perkins \"Abby &#34;Reads Too Much&#34...", "helpful": [4, 5], "reviewText": "text", "overall": 5.0, "summary": "Enya Experiments And Succeeds", "unixReviewTime": 978480000, "reviewTime": "01 3, 2001"}
{"reviewerID": "A1WR23ER5HMAA9", "asin": "5555991584", "reviewerName": "AKB", "helpful": [1, 1], "reviewText": "text", "overall": 5.0, "summary": "How to improve upon perfection.", "unixReviewTime": 953424000, "reviewTime": "03 19, 2000"}

how can i load it as dic?

``part of my json file`` is not helpful for us to help you. Please provide a [mcve] — Mike Scotty, Mar 24 '18 at 21:46
No, please provide a **minimal**, complete and verifiable example. — Mike Scotty, Mar 24 '18 at 22:02
Isn't it should be `'r'` like: `with open('ass1//data//reviews_Digital_Music.json', 'r') as f:` — jujuBee, Mar 24 '18 at 22:09
It looks like your json file is a little wonky. What process did you go through to make it? How exactly is it structured? Check out this similar question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21058935/python-json-loads-shows-valueerror-extra-data — kilojoules, Mar 24 '18 at 22:09
i already have seen this question, perhaps nested dictionary inside each other was the cause of error but in my case as you see it is just dictionary with a list inside. the document has 10000 more such dictionary. also i tried with "r", there is same issue — Ehsan, Mar 24 '18 at 22:46
@beegee: It doesn't because `'r'` is the default mode for `open()`. — martineau, Mar 24 '18 at 23:24
