Improve json section

[mplewis]

I've added the following to the JSON section:

• How to use simplejson in place of json in older versions of Python
• How to load and save JSON from/to file objects instead of strings

I've also reworded the intro paragraph a little and cleaned up the language of the simplejson paragraph.

Please take a look and tell me what you think! Thanks.

Didn't we discuss in an earlier PR that we weren't going to cover working with file objects?

I didn't see any such discussion in the previous JSON PRs.

Why not cover working with file objects? Parsing JSON from a file and writing JSON to an output file is a pretty common use case of the JSON library.

Got it, thanks! I couldn't see the comments on the outdated diffs before.
I'll remove the file object sections.

Just removed the section on file objects—let me know if you find anything else you think should be changed.
