JSON

Hey,

I'm new to python so I really don't know the language very well.

the following example was taken from here http://docs.python.org/library/json.html

>>> import json
>>> json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
[u'foo', {u'bar': [u'baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]

what does the u mean? and how do i know which elements are available in the dictionary?
