How to convert a JSON string to a Python dictionary?

To convert a JSON string to a Python dictionary, you can use the json.loads() method provided by the json module.

Here’s an example:

import json

json_string = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'

python_dict = json.loads(json_string)

print(python_dict)

This will print out the Python dictionary:

{'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}

Note that json.loads() only works with valid JSON strings. If the input string is not in proper JSON format, a json.JSONDecodeError will be raised. Also, make sure that the keys in the JSON string are always enclosed in double quotes (” “), as single quotes are not valid in JSON.
