或者你可以使用tibble包(来自tidyverse):

#create examplelist
l <- replicate(
  132,
  as.list(sample(letters, 20)),
  simplify = FALSE
)

#package tidyverse
library(tidyverse)

#make a dataframe (or use as_tibble)
df <- as_data_frame(l,.name_repair = "unique")

根据列表的结构，有一些tidyverse选项可以很好地处理长度不等的列表:

l <- list(a = list(var.1 = 1, var.2 = 2, var.3 = 3)
        , b = list(var.1 = 4, var.2 = 5)
        , c = list(var.1 = 7, var.3 = 9)
        , d = list(var.1 = 10, var.2 = 11, var.3 = NA))

df <- dplyr::bind_rows(l)
df <- purrr::map_df(l, dplyr::bind_rows)
df <- purrr::map_df(l, ~.x)

# all create the same data frame:
# A tibble: 4 x 3
  var.1 var.2 var.3
  <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1     1     2     3
2     4     5    NA
3     7    NA     9
4    10    11    NA

你也可以混合向量和数据帧:

library(dplyr)
bind_rows(
  list(a = 1, b = 2),
  data_frame(a = 3:4, b = 5:6),
  c(a = 7)
)

# A tibble: 4 x 2
      a     b
  <dbl> <dbl>
1     1     2
2     3     5
3     4     6
4     7    NA

对于像从嵌套JSON中获得的3级或更多级别的深度嵌套列表的一般情况:

{
"2015": {
  "spain": {"population": 43, "GNP": 9},
  "sweden": {"population": 7, "GNP": 6}},
"2016": {
  "spain": {"population": 45, "GNP": 10},
  "sweden": {"population": 9, "GNP": 8}}
}

考虑一下melt()将嵌套列表转换为高格式的方法:

myjson <- jsonlite:fromJSON(file("test.json"))
tall <- reshape2::melt(myjson)[, c("L1", "L2", "L3", "value")]
    L1     L2         L3 value
1 2015  spain population    43
2 2015  spain        GNP     9
3 2015 sweden population     7
4 2015 sweden        GNP     6
5 2016  spain population    45
6 2016  spain        GNP    10
7 2016 sweden population     9
8 2016 sweden        GNP     8

接着是dcast()，然后再次扩大到一个整洁的数据集，其中每个变量组成一个a列，每个观察值组成一行:

wide <- reshape2::dcast(tall, L1+L2~L3) 
# left side of the formula defines the rows/observations and the 
# right side defines the variables/measurements
    L1     L2 GNP population
1 2015  spain   9         43
2 2015 sweden   6          7
3 2016  spain  10         45
4 2016 sweden   8          9

tibble包有一个函数enframe()，它通过将嵌套的列表对象强制转换为嵌套的tibble(“整齐的”数据帧)对象来解决这个问题。下面是R for Data Science的一个简单例子:

x <- list(
    a = 1:5,
    b = 3:4, 
    c = 5:6
) 

df <- enframe(x)
df
#> # A tibble: 3 × 2
#>    name     value
#>   <chr>    <list>
#>    1     a <int [5]>
#>    2     b <int [2]>
#>    3     c <int [2]>

Since you have several nests in your list, l, you can use the unlist(recursive = FALSE) to remove unnecessary nesting to get just a single hierarchical list and then pass to enframe(). I use tidyr::unnest() to unnest the output into a single level "tidy" data frame, which has your two columns (one for the group name and one for the observations with the groups value). If you want columns that make wide, you can add a column using add_column() that just repeats the order of the values 132 times. Then just spread() the values.

library(tidyverse)

l <- replicate(
    132,
    list(sample(letters, 20)),
    simplify = FALSE
)

l_tib <- l %>% 
    unlist(recursive = FALSE) %>% 
    enframe() %>% 
    unnest()
l_tib
#> # A tibble: 2,640 x 2
#>     name value
#>    <int> <chr>
#> 1      1     d
#> 2      1     z
#> 3      1     l
#> 4      1     b
#> 5      1     i
#> 6      1     j
#> 7      1     g
#> 8      1     w
#> 9      1     r
#> 10     1     p
#> # ... with 2,630 more rows

l_tib_spread <- l_tib %>%
    add_column(index = rep(1:20, 132)) %>%
    spread(key = index, value = value)
l_tib_spread
#> # A tibble: 132 x 21

#> 6      6     i     k     w     o     c     n     m     b     v     e     q

#> 8      8     f     s     e     o     p     n     k     x     c     z     h

#> 10    10     y     r     f     k     d     o     b     u     i     x     s
#> # ... with 122 more rows, and 9 more variables: `12` <chr>, `13` <chr>,
#> #   `14` <chr>, `15` <chr>, `16` <chr>, `17` <chr>, `18` <chr>,
#> #   `19` <chr>, `20` <chr>

或者你可以使用tibble包(来自tidyverse):

#create examplelist
l <- replicate(
  132,
  as.list(sample(letters, 20)),
  simplify = FALSE
)

#package tidyverse
library(tidyverse)

#make a dataframe (or use as_tibble)
df <- as_data_frame(l,.name_repair = "unique")

这是最后对我有用的方法:

do.call（“rbind”， lapply（S1， as.data.frame））
