In recombinator: Recombinate Nested Lists to Dataframes

A mini-utility package for turning nested lists into data.frames.

A recombinator attempts to convert a depth 2 nested list into a data.frame.

1	recombinator(dat, id = "id")

`dat`	list. The list of lists to process. It can be in homogeneous or heterogeneous format (see the description).
`id`	character. Primary key, by default `"id"`.

There are two supported formats.

Homogeneous lists A list where the first list element is a character vector giving the names of the data.frame, and the subsequent list elements themselves lists of values.
Heterogeneous lists A list where each element is a named list of values. In this format, plyr::rbind will be used to take the union of all names and impute the ones missing with NA values.

the converted data.frame. If not a list, no changes will be performed.

A warning will be issued if non-standard names (i.e. those containing more than alphanumeric, underscore, and period characters) are used.
