object: Creating JSON objects

In jsontools: Working with JSON Vectors

Description

Creating JSON objects

Create a JSON object from R values

Given some R values you can easily create an object with them by putting them into a named list and applying format_json():

id <- 1
x <- 1:3
y <- c("a", "b")

list(id = json_u(id), x = x, y = y) %>%
  format_json()

# or in some cases you might be interested in using `dataframe = "columns"`
tibble::tibble(
  x = 1:3,
  y = c("a", "b", "c")
) %>%
  format_json(dataframe = "columns")

To create multiple objects at once (basically a vectorised version) put the values in a data frame and apply format_json_rowwise():

df <- tibble::tibble(
  id = 1,
  x = list(1:2, 3:4, 5),
  y = c("a", "b", "c")
)
format_json_rowwise(df)
