How to read JSON file with multiple JSON objects in Python?

So here is the standard way to read in a JSON file in python

import json
from pprint import pprint

with open('ig001.json') as data_file:    
    data = json.load(data_file)

pprint(data)

However, my JSON file that I want to read has multiple JSON objects in it. So it looks something like:

[{},{}.... ]

[{},{}.... ]

Where this represents 2 JSON objects, and inside each object inside each {}, there are a bunch of key:value pairs.

So when I try to read this using the standard read code that I have above, I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "jsonformatter.py", line 5, in data = json.load(data_file) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/json/init.py", line 290, in load **kw) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/json/init.py", line 338, in loads retu _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 369, in decode raise ValueError(errmsg("Extra data", s, end, len(s))) ValueError: Extra data: line 3889 column 2 - line 719307 column 2 (char 164691 - 30776399)

Where line 3889 is where the first JSON object ends and the next one begins, the line itself looks like "][".

Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated, thanks!
