First of all, it should be clear that in the json standard, the key must be quoted, so the standard json module will throw an error when parsing the json without the quoted key
But there are some libs that can help us parse
eg: demjson ( link )
>>>> import demjson
>>> demjson.decode('{suggestion:[{query:"London",interpretation: ...')
{u'suggestion': [{u'query': u'London', u'operation': 2, u'interpretation': ...
Simple example (code)
>>> import demjson
>>> demjson.encode( ['one',42,True,None] ) # From Python to JSON
'["one",42,true,null]'
>>> demjson.decode( '["one",42,true,null]' ) # From JSON to Python
['one', 42, True, None]
>>> cfg = demjson.decode_file( "config.json" ) # Read JSON from a file
