parse a json file with jsonlite in r

To parse a JSON file with jsonlite package in R, you can use the fromJSON() function.

Here is an example:

main.r
# install and load jsonlite package
install.packages("jsonlite")
library(jsonlite)

# read a sample json file
json_file <- system.file("examples", "example.json", package = "jsonlite")
json_data <- fromJSON(json_file)

# print the data
print(json_data)
253 chars
11 lines

In this example, system.file() function is used to get the path of a sample JSON file. You can replace this with the path of your JSON file.

fromJSON() function will read the JSON file and convert it into a list or a data frame depending upon the content of the JSON file.

You can access the elements of the resulting list or data frame using regular R syntax.
