[issue27765] Accept UTF-8 encoded bytes as input to json.loads()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This looks as a duplicate of issue10976.

See also issue17909 (which covers not just UTF-8, but UTF-16 and UTF-32, in 
conforming with RFC 4627).

[issue27765] Accept UTF-8 encoded bytes as input to json.loads()

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

In two recent Python 3 porting projects, a key incompatibility I encountered 
was that "json.loads(data)" on UTF-8 encoded bytes required an explicit 
decoding step under Python 3, rather than implicitly decoding the data as UTF-8.

Unlike many other wire formats, assuming UTF-8 for binary JSON data is a pretty 
safe assumption, and there's no type ambiguity here since the output type is 
still a properly decoded JSON object.

(This RFE has been split out from the larger RFE at #19837, which also covers 
implicit *encoding* to UTF-8, which is a more questionable idea)
