+JSON Response Content
+---------------------
+
+There's also a builtin JSON decoder, in case you're dealing with JSON data::
+
+    >>> import requests
+    >>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
+    >>> r.json
+    [{u'repository': {u'open_issues': 0, u'url': 'https://github.com/...
+
+In case the JSON decoding fails, ``r.json`` simply returns ``None``.
