There is so much more to
{purrr}
than map()
. {purrr}
is a veritable treasure trove of functional awesomeness that can help transform the code you write and what it can do. In this talk, I illustrate what lies beyond map()

Working with complex, hierarchically nested JSON data in R can be a bit of a pain. In this post, I illustrate how you can convert JSON data into tidy tibbles with particular emphasis on what I’ve found to be a reasonably good, general approach for converting nested JSON into nested tibbles. I use three illustrative examples of increasing complexity to help highlight some pitfalls and build up the logic underlying the approach before applying it in the context of some real-world rock climbing competition data.
