json is a built-in module, you don't need to install it with pip.
While it's true that json is a built-in module, I also found that on an Ubuntu system with python-minimal installed, you DO have python but you can't do import json. And then I understand that you would try to install the module using pip!
If you have python-minimal you'll get a version of python with less modules than when you'd typically compile python yourself, and one of the modules you'll be missing is the json module. The solution is to install an additional package, called libpython2.7-stdlib, to install all 'default' python libraries.
sudo apt install libpython2.7-stdlib
And then you can do import json in python and it would work!

I'm trying to use the jsondiff library and tried python -m pip install "jsondiff" , but still getting Import "jsondiff" could not be resolved and unable to use jsondiff. Anything I did wrong? Thank you!
JSON is part of python's standard library.
You don't need to install it, just import json

I've finally solved the problem of Q1 by deleting pips of the previous version directly and installing its newest version again like the below. :
Python has a built-in JSON module. If that's what you're looking for. Just import in your script or shell:
import json
As Bruno mentioned, python already has a build in JSON module so there is no value in installing a different package. Assuming that is what you are looking for.
Open up your shell and type:
import json
If you want more information on exactly how this is done check out this python doc: https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html
You can also install simplejson.
If you have pip (see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) as your Python package manager you can install simplejson with:
pip install simplejson
This is similar to the comment of installing with easy_install, but I prefer pip to easy_install as you can easily uninstall in pip with "pip uninstall package".
AFAIK the json module was added in version 2.6, see here. I'm guessing you can update your python installation to the latest stable 2.6 from this page.
