# rjsoncons
[](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=rjsoncons)
This package provides functions to query (filter or transform), pivot
(convert from array-of-objects to object-of-arrays, for easy import as
'R' data frame), search, patch (edit), and validate (against [JSON
Schema][]) 'JSON' and 'NDJSON' strings, files, or URLs. Query and
pivot support [JSONpointer][], [JSONpath][] or [JMESpath][]
expressions. The implementation uses the [jsoncons][] header-only
library; the library is easily linked to other packages for direct
access to 'C++' functionality not implemented here.
[JSON Schema]: https://json-schema.org
[JSONpath]: https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
[JMESpath]: https://jmespath.org/
[JSONpointer]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901
## Installation and loading
Install the released package version from CRAN
``` r
install.packages("rjsoncons", repos = "https://CRAN.R-project.org")
```
Install the development version with
``` r
if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quiety = TRUE))
install.packages("remotes", repos = "https://CRAN.R-project.org")
remotes::install_github("mtmorgan/rjsoncons")
```
Attach the installed package to your *R* session with
``` r
library(rjsoncons)
```

## Use cases
The [introductory vignette][] outlines common use cases, including:
- Filter large JSON or NDJSON documents to extract records or elements
of interest.
- Extract deeply nested elements.
- Transform data for more direct incorporation in *R* data structures.
- 'Patch' JSON strings programmatically, e.g., to update HTTP request
payloads.
- Validate JSON documents against JSON schemas
The [jsoncons][] C++ header-only library is a very useful starting
point for advanced JSON manipulation. The vignette outlines how
[rjsoncons][] can be used by other *R* packages wishing to access the
C++ library.
## Next steps
See the [introductory vignette][] for additional details.
