How does Python turn a JSON string to JSON? Need help understanding the process! or Python turns JSON

`json.loads()` is the answer, but here’s a fun fact: if you’re using Python 3.9+, you can use `|` to merge dicts after parsing. Neat, huh?

For malformed JSON, yeah, it’ll fail. Use `try-except` or a validator like [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) if you’re dealing with complex data.
