title: Parse JSON with R
body: <p>I am fairly new to R, but the more use it, the more I see how powerful it really is over SAS or SPSS.  Just one of the major benefits, as I see them, is the ability to get and analyze data from the web.  I imagine this is possible (and maybe even straightforward), but I am looking to parse JSON data that is publicly available on the web.  I am not a programmer by any stretch, so any help and instruction you can provide will be greatly appreciated.  Even if you point me to a basic working example, I probably can work through it.</p>
