schemar

schemar provides experimental constructor functions to create schema.org objects.

Installation

You can install schemar from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("cboettig/schemar")

Example

Construct a http://schema.org/Thing:

library(schemar)
x <- Thing(url = "http://schema.org")
write_jsonld(x, "example.json")

The main purpose of the package is to take advantage of tab completion and built-in documentation. For instance, typing schemar::P and hitting tab, we see a list of all possible object types (classes) starting with P. Typing a full class, such as schema::Place( and hitting tab, we see a list of possible properties for Place. The manual entry, ?Place, shows the definitions for each of these properties, along with there expected types.
