If you're dealing with nested JSON, `json.loads()` is solid, but you gotta handle errors. Try wrapping it in a try-except block to catch parsing issues.

For huge files, check out `ijson`—it streams the data instead of loading everything at once. Saves memory!

Also, for missing keys, use `.get()` instead of direct access to avoid KeyErrors. Like:
```python
value = data.get('key', 'default')
```
Hope that helps!
