.. function:: loads(s, *, cls=None, object_hook=None, parse_float=None, parse_int=None, parse_constant=None, object_pairs_hook=None, **kw)

Deserialize *s* (a :class:`str`, :class:`bytes` or :class:`bytearray`
Identical to :func:`load`, but instead of a file-like object,
deserialize *s* (a :class:`str`, :class:`bytes` or :class:`bytearray`
instance containing a JSON document) to a Python object using this
:ref:`conversion table <json-to-py-table>`.

The other arguments have the same meaning as in :func:`load`.

If the data being deserialized is not a valid JSON document, a
:exc:`JSONDecodeError` will be raised.

.. versionchanged:: 3.6
*s* can now be of type :class:`bytes` or :class:`bytearray`. The
input encoding should be UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.
