Hi Data Science PWT – does anyone have experience importing JSON files in R? If so, please share your advice!

Hi Rosie,

Have you imported JSON files into R and if so, do you have a favorite package? My colleague, cc'd here, is looking for recommendations. A quick search shows a few (e.g. RJSON, tidyjson)...

Thanks!

Hi Rosie, I have some experience with this. If no one else has beaten me to the punch, feel free to message me on Teams and I’ll see if I can help out.

Sorry, I didn’t notice that this message was forwarded by Rosie.

Liz, feel free to reach out 😊 I usually use the jsonlite package for all things JSON.

I’d also throw a vote in for the {yyjsonr} package…it’s pretty fast and works well: https://coolbutuseless.github.io/package/yyjsonr/index.html
