It is not possible to use buffer objects in json.loads()

This isn't so easy. Supporting the buffer protocol can slowdown the common case -- str.

Do you have concrete use case for this feature or add it just as an extension of bytes and bytearray support?

Withdraw my note about slowing down str.

The proposed patch doesn't work with all objects supporting the buffer protocol, for example it doesn't work with array.array('u', '\ufeff[1,2,3]'). This is easy to fix. But I'm not sure that it is worth to complicate the code for adding support of the buffer protocol.

I am fine with any decision. close with "won't fix" is fine too
