Quick and dirty answer: `json.loads()` is the best method for converting a JSON string to a Python object.
If you’re dealing with malformed JSON, you could use a regex to clean it up first, but that’s risky. Better to fix the source if possible.
Example:
```python
import json
data = json.loads('{"key": "value"}')
print(data["key"]) # Outputs "value"
```
