title: how to read an indent-formatted json into a dictionary
body: <p>i'm trying to read a json file that's formatted in a human-readable way, with indentations and line splits. Something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "a":1, 
      "b":2, 
      "c":3
  }{
      "d":4, 
      "e":5, 
      "f":6
  }{
      "g":7, 
      "h":8, 
      "i":9
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Going the standard way of</p>
  
  <p><code>json.load(file)</code></p>
  
  <p>results in </p>
  
  <p><code>JSONDecodeError: Extra data error</code></p>
  
  <p>Could someone please suggest a way to read this without reformatting the original file?</p>
