[R] how to avoid farword slashes in RJSONIO output

[jim holtman]

The forward slashes are to escape quotes and the new lines.  Here is
an example showing that when you output the file with 'cat' you
probably get the results you are expecting:


> x <- "({\"total\":5,\"results\":[\n {\n \"id\": 1,\n\"name\": \"Monkey D
+ Luffy\",\n\"position\": \"Captain\",\n\"ambition\": \"I Will become the
+ pirate king\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 2,\n\"name\": \"Roronoa
+ zoro\",\n\"position\": \"Swordman\",\n\"ambition\": \"Become greatet
+ swordman\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 3,\n\"name\": \"Sanji\",\n\"position\":
+ \"Cook\",\n\"ambition\": \"Find all blue\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 4,\n\"name\":
+ \"Nami\",\n\"position\": \"Navigator\",\n\"ambition\": \"Draw map of the
+ world\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 5,\n\"name\": \"Usopp\",\n\"position\":
+ \"Sniper\",\n\"ambition\": \"Become greatest warrior\" \n} \n]})"
> x
[1] "({\"total\":5,\"results\":[\n {\n \"id\": 1,\n\"name\": \"Monkey
D\nLuffy\",\n\"position\": \"Captain\",\n\"ambition\": \"I Will become
the\npirate king\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 2,\n\"name\":
\"Roronoa\nzoro\",\n\"position\": \"Swordman\",\n\"ambition\":
\"Become greatet\nswordman\" \n},\n{\n \"id\": 3,\n\"name\":
\"Sanji\",\n\"position\":\n\"Cook\",\n\"ambition\": \"Find all blue\"
\n},\n{\n \"id\": 4,\n\"name\":\n\"Nami\",\n\"position\":
\"Navigator\",\n\"ambition\": \"Draw map of the\nworld\" \n},\n{\n
\"id\": 5,\n\"name\":
\"Usopp\",\n\"position\":\n\"Sniper\",\n\"ambition\": \"Become
greatest warrior\" \n} \n]})"
> cat(x)
