yyjsonr 0.1.22 2026-04-05

CRAN release: 2026-04-05

• C-API: Address non-API call Rf_findVarInFrame()
• Geojson: Feature level IDs are now parsed correctly.
• yyjson: Include latest yyjson version 0.12.0
• yyjson: Expose new yyjson_read_flag options for JSON5 parsing
• opts: Added parse option for empty_array and empty_object. See opts_read_json()
• opts: Add null option when serializing. Now defaults to using JSON “null” where previously had defaulted erroneously to an empty json array. See opts_write_json()
• compat: switch from gzfread() to gzread() for centOS compatability.
• feature: Add read_geojson_conn() to handle geonjson from an R connection object
• opts: Added option arr_of_arrs_to_matrix. Logical value to control if conforming JSON []-arrays of nested []-arrays should be converted to matrices.
• Fix: Added support for raw nested data.frames (which are not in list-columns)
• Fix: ndjson error with zero-length input when parsing to data.frame. Now returns empty data.frame(). This matches the parsing of ndjson to lists, where zero-length input is not an error, and just returns empty lists.
• Fix: segfault in parse_ndjson_str_as_df_. Now freeing allocated colnames when error occurs
• Fix: free yyjson doc on error in geojson parse
• C-API: Removed support for UnboundValues when serializing environments

• Opts: Added digits_secs to control conversion of POSIXct datetimes with fractional seconds
• Opts: Added digits_signif to control significant digits in numeric representation
• Support YYJSON_READ_NUMBER_AS_RAW to read all numbers as strings
• Opts: Add digits_promote to control decimal places when numbers in JSON []-arrays are promoted to strings.
• Opts: Add json_verbatim to write strings (with class “json”) directly into the output
• Opts: Add single_null to specify R value to use for single JSON null values

• Re-introduce GeoJSON support

yyjsonr 0.1.18.9004 2024-03-15

yyjsonr 0.1.18.9000 2024-01-25

• New fast_numerics flag when writing.
  • Default FALSE
  • If TRUE the user is guaranteeing that there are no NA, NaN or Inf values in the numeric and integer vectors, and thus a faster method for writing these vectors to JSON can be used.
• Changed writing of raw vectors to always use the fast_numerics method, as raw R vectors (by definition) will not have NA, NaN or Inf values.
