import json
from pprint import pprint

data = json.load(open('data.json'))

pprint(data)

This will store the JSON data in the dictionary named data. 

pprint() simply prints your data in a neat manner, preserving the indentation

Hope it helps!!

I am new to geojson. Can someone please let me know how to extract co-ordinates from geojson file to python. i tried this and similar codes but received errors.

import geojson
with open("pvt.dat_191022_174643.geojson") as f:
    gj = geojson.load(f)
    print gj
for feature in gj:
  a= feature.properties.geometry.type 
  print a
  print feature.geometry.coordinates

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "read_geojson.py", line 8, in a= feature.properties.geometry.type AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'properties'

Try replacing the 6th line with the following:

a = feature.geometry.type

Instead of  

a= feature.properties.geometry.type
