R Passes SAS in Scholarly Use

Thanks for the link on JSON and your packages, great work as always. I should clarify when I said we-client, I meant websockets client to consume feed. The last time I tried, the only R package (r-websockets) just crashed my Linux box and not maintained for several years. httr doesn't do websockets, as I understand. Seems likely a fundamental way to engineer/wrangle data into R.

You can do it with httpuv, but it might a bit clunky. I think better websockets support, and better async generally, is on the roadmap for the next year.

For httpuv, author Joe Cheng advised cannot do a websocket-client. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28120307/how-to-interact...

Looking forward to the improvements. Appreciate all your work in the field.
