[python] json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I am trying to import a file which was saved using json.dumps and contains tweet coordinates:

{
    "type": "Point", 
    "coordinates": [
        -4.62352292, 
        55.44787441
    ]
}

My code is:

>>> import json
>>> data = json.loads('/Users/JoshuaHawley/clean1.txt')  

But each time I get the error:

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I want to end up extracting all the coordinates and saving them separately to a different file so they can then be mapped, but this seemingly simple problem is stopping me from doing so. I have looked at answers to similar errors but don't seem to be able to apply it to this. Any help would be appreciated as I am relatively new to python.

I had similar error: "Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"

It helped for me to add "myfile.seek(0)", move the pointer to the 0 character

with open(storage_path, 'r') as myfile:
if len(myfile.readlines()) != 0:
    myfile.seek(0)
    Bank_0 = json.load(myfile)
