Full description

Converts R objects to and from JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). The package provides a stable interface for reading JSON from strings, files, and connections, and for serializing common R objects, including vectors, lists, data frames, arrays, environments, and S4 objects. It also exposes parser handlers, callbacks, and S4 methods for applications that need customized JSON processing while preserving established RJSONIO behavior.
