I am trying to load and parse a JSON file in [Python][1]. But I&#39;m stuck trying to load the file:

    import json
    json_data = open(&#39;file&#39;)
    data = json.load(json_data)

Yields:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    ValueError: Extra data: line 2 column 1 - line 225116 column 1 (char 232 - 160128774)

I looked at *[18.2. `json` — JSON encoder and decoder][2]* in the Python documentation, but it&#39;s pretty discouraging to read through this horrible-looking documentation.

First few lines (anonymized with randomized entries):

&lt;!-- language: lang-json --&gt;

    {&quot;votes&quot;: {&quot;funny&quot;: 2, &quot;useful&quot;: 5, &quot;cool&quot;: 1}, &quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;harveydennis&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Jasmine Graham&quot;, &quot;url&quot;: &quot;http://example.org/user_details?userid=harveydennis&quot;, &quot;average_stars&quot;: 3.5, &quot;review_count&quot;: 12, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;user&quot;}
    {&quot;votes&quot;: {&quot;funny&quot;: 1, &quot;useful&quot;: 2, &quot;cool&quot;: 4}, &quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;njohnson&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Zachary Ballard&quot;, &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https://www.example.com/user_details?userid=njohnson&quot;, &quot;average_stars&quot;: 3.5, &quot;review_count&quot;: 12, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;user&quot;}
    {&quot;votes&quot;: {&quot;funny&quot;: 1, &quot;useful&quot;: 0, &quot;cool&quot;: 4}, &quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;david06&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Jonathan George&quot;, &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https://example.com/user_details?userid=david06&quot;, &quot;average_stars&quot;: 3.5, &quot;review_count&quot;: 12, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;user&quot;}
    {&quot;votes&quot;: {&quot;funny&quot;: 6, &quot;useful&quot;: 5, &quot;cool&quot;: 0}, &quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;santiagoerika&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Amanda Taylor&quot;, &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https://www.example.com/user_details?userid=santiagoerika&quot;, &quot;average_stars&quot;: 3.5, &quot;review_count&quot;: 12, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;user&quot;}
    {&quot;votes&quot;: {&quot;funny&quot;: 1, &quot;useful&quot;: 8, &quot;cool&quot;: 2}, &quot;user_id&quot;: &quot;rodriguezdennis&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Jennifer Roach&quot;, &quot;url&quot;: &quot;http://www.example.com/user_details?userid=rodriguezdennis&quot;, &quot;average_stars&quot;: 3.5, &quot;review_count&quot;: 12, &quot;type&quot;: &quot;user&quot;}
