parse_json(json, simplifyVector = FALSE, ...)

write_json(x, path, ...)

Arguments

path

simplifyVector

simplifies nested lists into vectors and data frames. See fromJSON().

...

additional conversion arguments, see also toJSON() or fromJSON()

write_json(iris, tmp)

# Nested lists

# A data frame
read_json(tmp, simplifyVector = TRUE)
