    .. versionchanged:: 3.1
-      Added support for *object_pairs_hook*.
 
-   *parse_float* is an optional function that will be called with the string of
-   every JSON float to be decoded.  By default, this is equivalent to
-   ``float(num_str)``.  This can be used to use another datatype or parser for
-   JSON floats (e.g. :class:`decimal.Decimal`).
+      * Added the optional *object_pairs_hook* parameter.
+      * *parse_constant* doesn't get called on 'null', 'true', 'false' anymore.
 
-   *parse_int* is an optional function that will be called with the string of
-   every JSON int to be decoded.  By default, this is equivalent to
-   ``int(num_str)``.  This can be used to use another datatype or parser for
-   JSON integers (e.g. :class:`float`).
+   .. versionchanged:: 3.6
+
+      * All optional parameters are now :ref:`keyword-only <keyword-only_parameter>`.
+      * *fp* can now be a :term:`binary file`.
+        The input encoding should be UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.
 
    .. versionchanged:: 3.11
       The default *parse_int* of :func:`int` now limits the maximum length of
       the integer string via the interpreter's :ref:`integer string
       conversion length limitation <int_max_str_digits>` to help avoid denial
       of service attacks.
 
-   *parse_constant* is an optional function that will be called with one of the
-   following strings: ``'-Infinity'``, ``'Infinity'``, ``'NaN'``.  This can be

-
-   .. versionchanged:: 3.1
-      *parse_constant* doesn't get called on 'null', 'true', 'false' anymore.
-
-   To use a custom :class:`JSONDecoder` subclass, specify it with the ``cls``
-   kwarg; otherwise :class:`JSONDecoder` is used.  Additional keyword arguments
-   will be passed to the constructor of the class.
-
-   If the data being deserialized is not a valid JSON document, a
-   :exc:`JSONDecodeError` will be raised.
