    Load a json file with COCO's instances annotation format.
    Currently supports instance detection, instance segmentation,
    and person keypoints annotations.

    Args:
        json_file (str): full path to the json file in COCO instances annotation format.
        image_root (str or path-like): the directory where the images in this json file exists.
        dataset_name (str or None): the name of the dataset (e.g., coco_2017_train).
            When provided, this function will also do the following:

            * Put "thing_classes" into the metadata associated with this dataset.
            * Map the category ids into a contiguous range (needed by standard dataset format),
              and add "thing_dataset_id_to_contiguous_id" to the metadata associated
              with this dataset.

            This option should usually be provided, unless users need to load
            the original json content and apply more processing manually.
        extra_annotation_keys (list[str]): list of per-annotation keys that should also be
            loaded into the dataset dict (besides "iscrowd", "bbox", "keypoints",
            "category_id", "segmentation"). The values for these keys will be returned as-is.
            For example, the densepose annotations are loaded in this way.

    Returns:
        list[dict]: a list of dicts in Detectron2 standard dataset dicts format (See
        `Using Custom Datasets </tutorials/datasets.html>`_ ) when `dataset_name` is not None.
        If `dataset_name` is None, the returned `category_ids` may be
        incontiguous and may not conform to the Detectron2 standard format.

    Notes:
        1. This function does not read the image files.
           The results do not have the "image" field.
