Transform an R data structure into JSON

The semantics of toJSON changed between RJSONIO and jsonlite: in the latter, scalars are promoted to arrays of length 1. rather than change our javascript code, and since such promotion -- while sensible in the context of R -- strikes me as gratuitous, I follow jeroen ooms suggestion, creating this wrapper

toJSON(..., auto_unbox = TRUE)

Arguments

...

Extra arguments passed to this function
auto_unbox

Logical

Value

a character string with the JSON representation of the R object

Examples


 toJSON(data.frame(a=8:10, b=LETTERS[8:10], stringsAsFactors=FALSE))
#> [{"a":8,"b":"H"},{"a":9,"b":"I"},{"a":10,"b":"J"}]
