title: How to parse escaped Double Quote in JSON String
body: <p>From an API I am getting following JSON String which I want to convert into python dict.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "title":"size_fit_desc",
      "description":"\u003Cp\u003ERegular Fit\u003Cbr \u002F\u003EThe model (height 5'8\", chest 33\" and waist 28\") is wearing a size M.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I try to load it using <code>json.loads()</code> It gives me an error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p>ValueError: Expecting property name: line 3 column 97 (char 136)</p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However If I try to use this string as raw string then it works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>s = r"""{
          "title":"size_fit_desc",
          description":"\u003Cp\u003ERegular Fit\u003Cbr \u002F\u003EThe model (height 5'8\", chest 33\" and waist 28\") is wearing a size M.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E"
  }"""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think there an issue with an escaping at <code>(height 5'8\", chest 33\"</code>. </p>
  
  <p>How can I assign this json string from API to python string object and convert it into dict using <code>json.loads(s)</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>json.loads(json.dumps(s)) does not work.</p>
