R Tutorial Playlist - JSON

 For purpose of reading of json file, there are two most popular packages; rjson and jsonlite.

Code for jsonlite looks like:

library("jsonlite")

j <- read_json("path to json file")

j <- as.data.frame(j)

In first line, we are importing actual library. In second line with function read_json() we are going to provide argument of path to json file we want to read, and in third, received structure is converted into data frame.

Code for rjson looks like:

library("rjson")

j <- fromJSON("path to json file")

j <- as.data.frame(j)

Same as in previous case, in first line, library is imported. Function fromJSON, works in the same way as function read_json in previous case, and finally, received structure is going to be converted to data frame as well.
