It looks like you copied that from https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html
Those are all optional parameters, if you don't need them it's just:
json.load(fp)
Which, to the best of my knowledge will behave just like the JS version.
I had that same feeling in the 2.4-2.5 days of Python. But now it was really hard to find simple API's.
Let me give you an example about parsing JSON. This is the Python way:
json.load(fp, , cls=None, object_hook=None, parse_float=None, parse_int=None, parse_constant=None, object_pairs_hook=None, kw)
Seriously, how F(&#$%@ING complex can you make the thing?
This is Javascript:
JSON.parse(text[, reviver])
Ah, that's the way I like it :)
But hey, if you want all that argument power, no problem for me. I'm a simple programmer, liking simple things. And that was my point, Python has lost its simple ways. The JavaScript language might have some weird shit, but I don't care about that because I can stay far away from it. I care about simple programming.
