nestr: Nested object structures
In rappster/nestr: Nested object structures

Description Core functions Transformation functions Author(s) References

The package provides an extendable interface to conveniently create nested object structures based on using environments.

Object values can be set and retrieved based on path-like names/identifiers (e.g. 'output/print/type = "pdf"' will be translated into the following nested environment structure: 'output$print$type' with the value being'"pdf"').

Also, it allows to specify reactive nested object structures, i.e. objects that are dynamically linked to other objects and thus automatically stay synced.

Furthermore, the package provides means to transform nested environment structures to nested lists and JSON objects.

setNested:

Creates a nested object structure based on a path-like id with the last ID component being the actual object name that value is assigned to.
getNested:

Retrieves value from a nested object structure based on a path-like id with the last ID component being the actual object name that contains the value.
rmNested:

Removes a component from a nested object structure based on a path-like id with the last ID component being the name of the actual object being removed.

fromList:

Creates a nested environment object structure based on a list object structure.
toList:

Creates a nested list object structure based on an environment object structure.
fromJson:

Creates a nested environment object structure based on a JSON object structure.
toJson:

Creates a nested JSON object structure based on an nested environment object structure.
