I want to create data in R and then export as json. For this I create a list and transform it with jsonlite:: toJSON. In the json I get all characters in quotes. How can I remove specific quotes. as.name() and noquote() does not work with jsonlite:: toJason. Is there a solution to get this done.
Here an example:
x = list(test="false")
x_j=jsonlite::toJSON( x,pretty = T, auto_unbox = T)
{
"test": "false"
}
However, the export should look like this:
{
"test": false
}
CodePudding user response:
jsonlite::toJSON
will only convert an R logical vector to a json boolean.
In your case, that means you need FALSE
, rather than "false"
, which is an R character vector and gets converted to a json string.
x = list(test=FALSE)
jsonlite::toJSON(x, pretty = T, auto_unbox = T)
# {
# "test": false
# }
