`jsonview` : View formatted and "pretty printed" JSON or `list`s in R
(if you need XML viewing in R check out `jsonview`'s sister package, [xmlview](https://github.com/hrbrmstr/xmlview))
It is intended for interactive use. When working with gnarly lists or JSON data, it's often times advantageous to be able to see the document in a more formatted way.
You can pass in:
- plain character JSON
- an R `list` object (any R object, really)
and view the formatted & pretty-printed result in the RStudio viewer or web browser.
Here's an example of the collapsable tree view generaged by:
```{r eval=FALSE}
json_tree_view(fromJSON("https://collector.torproject.org/index/index.json"))
```
The widget uses [vkbeautify](http://www.eslinstructor.net/vkbeautify/), [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org) and
[jquery.json-treeview](https://github.com/bazh/a.json-view) to do all the work.
The following functions are implemented:
- `json_view`: view JSON, formatted & pretty-printed
- `json_tree_view`: view JSON in a collapsable tree view
### News
