What is the type of a JSON object in python?
<p>I'm new to JSON. I have a dictionary, I convert it to a JSON object using </p>

<pre><code>            myJsonObject = json.dumps(myDictionary) 
</code></pre>

<p>But then If I check the type, I get <code>&lt;type 'str'&gt;</code></p>

<p><strong><em>Is string is the expected output for a JSON object?</em></strong></p>

<p>PS: Python 2.7</p>

<p><strong><em>Update:</em></strong> How can I get a JSON type, if dumps is not the correct way?</p>
