Strings returned in the object returned from json.load() seem to be always unicode, but it is not documented. Python 2.7

It's documented in the table at http://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html#json.JSONDecoder, but indeed a link to the table should be added in the docs of load/loads (and similarly to the dump/dumps docs too).
