I am trying to access the 'title' from the following list but it keeps throwing error.
var moviesDB = {

]
}
I can go as far as moviesDB["movies"][0] but cannot get the title property.
Although I can do the same in Javascript and it works with no errors.
console.log(moviesDB["movies"][0]["title"]);
Any solution for this?
You need to make a cast on the element of your movie list.
print((moviesDB['movies'][0] as Map<String, dynamic>)['title']);
I am requesting for a list of assignment for each course. For this example I created the due date to be on the 11th but the API returns the due date as the 12th.
courseWork": [

},

"creatorUserId": "111094682610866207024"
}
]
I am not sure that I can use a time zone to fix this because it is simply returning the day/month/year without a specified time zone. Can I simply subtract the due dates day by one? or is there a more logical approach?

Combing through the JSON, it appears that these columns are not matching: permit_subtype, superintendent_business_name, superintendent_first___last_name, site_safety_mgr_s_first_name, site_safety_mgr_s_last_name, and special_district_1.
Looking at the original data sources, the columns that do not match are instances where the field is blank for that field. That is, bin__ = 1090379 does not have a permit_subtype, so it is omitted in the JSON (which is standard practice).
It will, however, be included in the CSV output since that format must include all columns: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/83x8-shf7.csv?$where=filing_date%20BETWEEN%20%272018-05-01T06:00:00%27%20AND%20%272018-05-30T10:00:00%27.
This answer took a bit of digging because it wasn't immediately obvious which columns were different between the two examples. It's always helpful to over-explain to make it easier to track-down the issue.
Likewise, per the filing_date question, please include the query you're attempting to use.
I am facing issues with conversion of JSON to dataframe. I tried using libraries: jsonlite, RJSONIO,rjson.
I keep getting 'invalid character in the string' or unclosed string.
I am getting this data from a standard API so should be able to parse this json. Also, JSON editors can parse this data just fine.
My question is:
Is there a standard way using which I can make sure that my dataframe gets created and ignore above errors?
My best guess was to convert this data to JSON format using toJSON function from either of the libraries but if I use
newdata <- fromJSON(toJSON(data))
it somehow never gets converted to dataframe. Why is that?
If I instead use
newdata <- fromJSON(data)
I get a valid dataframe but sometimes because of above errors, it doesn't work which is what I am trying to know. How do you deal with this?
I have tried using this too freshDeskTicketsToDF <-
jsonlite::fromJSON(paste(readLines(textConnection(freshDeskTickets)), collapse=""))
It seemed to solve the problem but somewhere I got unclosed string with this method which I otherwise did not.
Are there better ways to deal with this in R?
Also, why is it that using toJSON on data passed to fromJSON never gets converted to a dataframe?
If I decide to take off html tags from the values assisgned to keys in JSON data. How does that work? Can I do that?
Edit: It looks like I get this error when I have <html tags> in my "string data" but I have them all across my JSON data and I don't get it every time.
How to deal with problems like this?
Note: this issue not specific to the data that I have. What I am looking for is ways to deal with problems like these and not one specific solution to a single problem.
I just realized thattoJSON converts R objects to JSON and not JSON to valid JSON. Is there a way to do it instead?

What I want to end up with is a tab-delimited file with only the following information:
OL reference title name isbn_10 isbn_13 subjects subject_places subject_people
For example:
/books/OL24712550M Saving graces Elizabeth Edwards 0786291672 9780786291670 "Cancer", "Family", "Legislators' spouses", "Philosophy", "Patients", "Large type books", "Lawyers' spouses", "Biography", "Protected DAISY" "United States", "North Carolina" "Elizabeth Edwards (1949-)", "John Edwards (1953 June 10-)"
(In some cases of course some of these fields will be empty.)
So all of the information I want is in the editions dump except for the 'name' field which comes from the authors dump, looked up by the reference in the editions dump, eg /authors/OL6606949A.
So I was trying to use JQ with the following query (for testing only few columns):
.personal_name as $names | .authors | {title , name, author: $names[.key]}
But it does not even execute as I am also having problem finding the notation for author key.
Since subjects and so on can have multiple values, how do you want them separated in the output so as not to be ambiguous?
jq '.personal_name as $names | .authors as $authors| {title, name, author: $names[.key]}'
is the fixed version of the jq command you have in your question, but not using $authors.
Anyways, if you clarify what you're after we can definitely do this!
