title: How to convert JSON data into a Python object?
body: <p>I want to convert JSON data into a Python object.</p>
  <p>I receive JSON data objects from the Facebook API, which I want to store in my database.</p>
  <p>My current View in Django (Python) (<code>request.POST</code> contains the JSON):</p>
  <pre><code>response = request.POST
  user = FbApiUser(user_id = response['id'])
  user.name = response['name']
  user.username = response['username']
  user.save()
  </code></pre>
  <ul>
  <li>This works fine, but how do I handle complex JSON data objects?</li>
  <li>Wouldn't it be much better if I could somehow convert this JSON object into a Python object for easy use?</li>
  </ul>
