How to read JSON in R where values is a list? Need help parsing nested data! or Struggling to read JS

Hey! I feel your pain—nested JSON in R can be a headache. If you're using `jsonlite::fromJSON()`, try adding `flatten = TRUE` to simplify the structure.

For deeper nesting, `purrr::map()` is a lifesaver. Like, `map(data, "nested_field")` can dig into layers without losing your mind.

Also, check out the `tidyjson` package—it’s built for this exact problem (read json in r where values is a list).

Good luck!
