Reading a huge json file in R , issues

Question

I am trying to read very huge json file using R , and I am using the RJSON library with this commend json_data <- fromJSON(paste(readLines(\"myfile.json\"), collaps

Answer 1

For some reason the above solutions all caused R to terminate or worse.

This solution worked for me, with the same data set:

library(jsonlite)
file_name <- 'C:/Users/Downloads/yelp_dataset/yelp_dataset~/dataset/business.JSON'
business<-jsonlite::stream_in(textConnection(readLines(file_name, n=100000)),verbose=F)

Took about 15 minutes
