使用Python解析JSON数据

Question

我从GitHub webhook服务收到一些数据.它包含有关存储库中最近提交的信息.我收到的字符串如下所示:

payload = {
    "ref":"refs/heads/master","commits":[
        {"added":[],"author":{"username":"myname","email":"my@email.com","name":"John Doe"},"timestamp":"2011-03-03T02:04:32-08:00","removed":[],"url":"https://github.com/repository/commit/3da6de4ae4550aa84ff16b9b52d8c5179e126dc5","message":"Setup some functions","modified":["apps/api/__init__.py","main.py","utils.py"],"id":"3da6de4ae4550aa84ff16b9b52d8c5179e126dc5"}
    ],
    "compare":"https://github.com/repository/compare/a270fe9...eb26a23","after":"eb26a2312e1955ccb2b7cb50d43682be87c30faa","repository":{"pushed_at":"2011/03/03 02:23:14 -0800","has_issues":true,"has_downloads":true,"url":"https://github.com/repository","watchers":1,"fork":false,"has_wiki":true,"private":false,"size":2248,"forks":1,"created_at":"2011/02/23 04:41:51 -0800","owner":{"email":"my@email.com","name":"john"},"name":"john","language":"Python","open_issues":0},"forced":false,"before":"a270fe954359caa323a9880afc3d6301055ea566"
}

删除该变量payload=并获取其间数据的正确方法是什么,{}以便它是一个我可以解析的正确JSON simplejson？现在我只是用json_data = json_data.replace('payload=', '').我不确定这是一个正确的方法.我怎样才能更好地做到这一点？谢谢.

我会寻找第一个{字符:

jsondata = jsondata[jsondata.index("{"):]
