I've got json string, and I need to load it but it comes from TCP socket so it is in bytes. Normal decoding with utf-8 doesn't work, because in thah string there are float numbers in 4bytes format.

data = b'{"X1":"Cf\x19\x9a","X2":"\x00\x00\x00\x00"}'

how to load this into json.loads?

    That's not valid json, so you can't parse it with json.load. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 10:54
  • I know that this is not valid json, but how to decode it, and not lose any data, even zeros? Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 10:55

    This is not valid JSON, because it does not contain data encoded with UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 codecs. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 11:00

    The \xhh byte points are just representations of the actual byte values; your data does not contain literal ` and x` bytes, each \xHH sequence is one byte. But the hex sequence 19 9A is not a valiid UTF-8 byte sequence, so this can't be parsed as JSON just for that reason. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 11:01
