Reading JSON file with Python 3

Try this

import json

with open('filename.txt', 'r') as f:
    array = json.load(f)

print (array)

Based on reading over the documentation again, it appears you need to either change the third line to

json_data = json.loads(text)

or remove the line

text = json_file.read()

since read() causes the file's index to reach the end of the file. (I suppose, alternatively, you can reset the index of the file).
