json.loads() supports an argument of type bytes or bytearray in Python 3.6+.
In older Python versions the function only accepts an argument of type str and the current code causes an error:
the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'.
This commit fixes the issue by explicitly decoding from UTF-8 (changing the type to str).
