Getting data from JSON file in R

Question

Lets say that I have the following json file:

{
  \"id\": \"000018ac-04ef-4270-81e6-9e3cb8274d31\",
   \"currentCompany\": \"\",
   \"currentTitle\": \"--\",

Surprised this was never answered! Using the jsonlite package, you can collapse your json data into one character element using paste(x, collapse="") removing EOF markers for proper import into an R dataframe. I, too, faced a pretty-printed json with exact error:

library(jsonlite)

json <- do.call(rbind, 
                lapply(paste(readLines(Usersfile, warn=FALSE),
                             collapse=""), 
                       jsonlite::fromJSON))
