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

Ugh, nested JSON is the worst. Here's a quick trick: after loading with `jsonlite`, use `str()` to see the structure. Helps you spot where things are hiding.

If you need to flatten, `rlist::list.flatten()` can sometimes work better than `jsonlite`'s built-in flattening.

And yeah, `purrr` is gold for this stuff. `map_depth()` lets you target specific levels.

Hope that saves your sanity!
