The json module page uses "object" confusingly #134150

Documentation

On the json module page, the word "object" can mean two things: a Python object (any Python value) or a JSON object (a thing enclosed in curly braces). That ambiguity could be explained at the top of the page, and then we could clarify the uses of the word throughout the page.

This came up when someone was confused that object_hook wasn't applying to strings loaded from the JSON.
