Convert String to Json type in python with socket programming

Question

data = data.decode('utf-8')
print(data)   # b'1' : {"reciever": "1", "sender:": 1, "seq_num": 7, "data": "2"}
data = data[7:] 
print(data)   # {"reciever": "1", "sender:": 1, "seq_num": 7, "data": "2"}
data = json.dumps(data)
data = json.loads(data)
print(type(data)) #<class 'str'>

Here is my code. I try to send data (string + json) with socket programming. It sends data well, but I want to use json when receiving messages. So I sliced the json part, and dumps and loads into json. (I imported json) But Its type is still in str.

In my sending function,

result = json.dumps({'reciever' : rec, 'sender:': sender, 'seq_num' : sequence_number, 'data': data})
final_result = json.loads(result)
print(type(final_result)). #dict type

It seems works well here.

Please help !

Thank you

remove data = json.dumps(data).

json.dumps saves json object to str. but data is already str in your code.
