    ``NaN``, ``Infinity``, and ``-Infinity`` as
    their corresponding ``float`` values, which is outside the JSON spec.

        *encoding* determines the encoding used to interpret any
        :class:`str` objects decoded by this instance (``'utf-8'`` by
        default).  It has no effect when decoding :class:`unicode` objects.

        Note that currently only encodings that are a superset of ASCII work,
        strings of other encodings should be passed in as :class:`unicode`.

        *object_hook*, if specified, will be called with the result of every
        JSON object decoded and its return value will be used in place of the
        given :class:`dict`.  This can be used to provide custom
        deserializations (e.g. to support JSON-RPC class hinting).

        *object_pairs_hook* is an optional function that will be called with
        the result of any object literal decode with an ordered list of pairs.
        The return value of *object_pairs_hook* will be used instead of the
        :class:`dict`.  This feature can be used to implement custom decoders
        that rely on the order that the key and value pairs are decoded (for
        example, :func:`collections.OrderedDict` will remember the order of
        insertion). If *object_hook* is also defined, the *object_pairs_hook*
        takes priority.

        *parse_float*, if specified, will be called with the string of every
