Question

我正在尝试将大量嵌套的json转换为适当的数据帧（按整洁的标准进行处理）。在问题的末尾复制了json的MWE，因为我想确保它捕获了json的每个元素。

我尝试过：

library(jsonlite)
library(tidyverse)
dat <- jsonlite::fromJSON('data_toy.json') %>% pluck(1) %>% imap_dfr(~mutate(.x, department = .y))

但这返回：

Error: Columns `time_spent`, `school_breakdown`, `reason_for_taking_course`, `student_years`, `interest_before` must be 1d atomic vectors or lists

我也尝试过：

dat <- jsonlite::fromJSON('data_toy.json', simplifyVector = FALSE, 
                          simplifyDataFrame = FALSE, flatten=FALSE)
dat.df <- map_df(dat, ~{
  flatten_df(.x[[1]]) %>%
    dplyr::mutate(department = names(.x)[1])
})

但这返回：

Error in bind_rows_(x, .id) : Argument 3 must be length 1, not 0

如何将其转换为数据框？

数据文件（data_toy.json）：

Answer 1

使用flatten = TRUE似乎是这里的关键：

dat <- jsonlite::fromJSON('data_toy.json', flatten = TRUE)[[1]]
dat %>% bind_rows() %>% mutate(department = rep(names(dat), map_dbl(dat, nrow)))

将嵌套的JSON转换为数据框
