Firstly you would need to import json module and then use it's load method to load the specified file.

import json 

f = open ('dataFile.json', "r") 
data = json.loads(f.read())

Then you can this data object like normal dictionaries in python.

If you just want to deserialize a json string to dictionary. You can pass the string to json.loads(jsonString) and it would convert it to a dictionary. Hope this helps.
