Is there a way to import data from a JSON file into R? More specifically, the file is an array of JSON objects with string fields, objects, and arrays. The RJSON Package isn't very clear on how to deal with this http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rjson/rjson.pdf.

To read the files, we use read_json() function and through it, we pass the path to the JSON file we want to read. Once we do that, it returns a “DataFrame”( A table of rows and columns) that stores data.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. This package converts JSON objects into R objects and vice-versa.
jsonlite: A Simple and Robust JSON Parser and Generator for R. A reasonably fast JSON parser and generator, optimized for statistical data and the web. Offers simple, flexible tools for working with JSON in R, and is particularly powerful for building pipelines and interacting with a web API.
First install the rjson package:
install.packages("rjson") Then:
library("rjson") json_file <- "http://api.worldbank.org/country?per_page=10®ion=OED&lendingtype=LNX&format=json" json_data <- fromJSON(paste(readLines(json_file), collapse="")) Update: since version 0.2.1
json_data <- fromJSON(file=json_file) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
