Honestly, semistructured data in research was a headache at first, but now I love it.
I use R + the `tidyjson` package to wrangle JSON into something analyzable. For XML, `xml2` is a lifesaver.
Biggest win? It’s great for scraping social media data—so much richer than flat CSV files.
Downside: Documentation is key. Without it, you’re lost. How do y’all keep track of schemas?
