Abstract

jsonio provides methods for importing and exporting data in JSON format. When exporting data from Stata all metadata possible from the dataset is retained as possible (e.g., value/variable labels, type indicators, etc...). The program jsonio also provides two import modes for JSON data: key-value and row-value. In key-value mode, all data are loaded into two variables named key and value; if all data types are the same, the program also handles casting the data. In row-value mode, each node is loaded into individual variables. In both cases, users are able to use simple regular expressions to query a subset of the data to load. Data can also be loaded from disk or using HTTP requests to REST APIs.
