Merlijn van Deen <valhall...@gmail.com> added the comment:
JSON does not have the distinction between bytes and unicode; py2 strings are
coerced into unicode.
I think it would be better to speak about 'JSON string' or 'JSON string
element' if it's JSON and about 'unicode' (2.7) or 'str' (3.x) when speaking
about the data that has been decoded again.
>>> json.loads(json.dumps("boo"))
u'boo'
>>> json.loads(json.dumps({"a": "b"}))
{u'a': u'b'}
(the keys will always be unicode in 2.7)
