Convert JSON input to CSV — json_to

This function takes a file with JSON input and processes it to generate corresponding output in CSV format. If the input is a character string, the output will be printed to the console. Otherwise, a CSV file will be generated with the same name as the input file but with a .csv extension.

Usage

json_to_csv(file, n_tokens_limit = 2000, ...)

Arguments

file: A character string representing the path to the file with JSON input.
n_tokens_limit: An integer representing the maximum number of tokens allowed in the input text. Defaults to 2000.
...: Additional arguments passed down to lower-level functions.

Value

If the input is a character string, the function returns the output as a character string and prints it to the console. Otherwise, the function returns the output as a data frame and generates a CSV file with the same name as the input file but with a .csv extension.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Example: JSON string
json_string <- '{"employees":[
{ "firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe" },
{ "firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith" },
{ "firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones" }
]}'
json_to_csv(json_string)
}
