Coerce an emld object into JSON
as_json(x, file = NULL)
x | an emld object |
---|---|
file | optional path to write out to file. Otherwise, defaults to NULL and will return a json object. |
a json object. Or if a file path is provided, the metadata
is written out in JSON file and the function returns NULL
invisibly.
Note: since emld list object maintains a 1:1 correspondence with JSON, following the conventions of jsonlite, this function is basically trivial. The only purpose is to default to auto_unbox = TRUE in serializing lists to JSON.
f <- system.file("extdata/example.xml", package = "emld") emld <- as_emld(f) json <- as_json(emld) ## can also write a json file to disk: json_file <- tempfile() as_json(emld, json_file)
