from_aml: Import ArchieML data from a string, file, or URL

In rchie: A Parser for 'ArchieML'

Description

This imports data from New York Times' ArchieML format as an R object. Text is parsed to JSON using archieml-js, then imported via jsonlite::fromJSON.

Usage

from_aml(aml, simplifyVector = FALSE,
  simplifyDataFrame = simplifyVector, simplifyMatrix = simplifyVector,
  flatten = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

aml	a string, file, connection, URL, or Google Drive ID created by googledrive::as_id from which to read ArchieML. Inputs of length > 1, with line breaks, or non-existent file names will always be treated as raw ArchieML. To read multiple ArchieML inputs use a function such as lapply.
simplifyVector, simplifyDataFrame, simplifyMatrix, flatten	passed to fromJSON to determine how the JSON generated from is parsed. If raw JSON outputs are desired use aml_to_json
...	further arguments to be passed tojsonlite::fromJSON, for class-specific print methods
