jq should be able to take file paths or a URL as an argument about jqr HOT 8 CLOSED

thanks @cboettig

agree this would be good - will look into it

from jqr.

@cboettig playing around on remotes::install_github("ropensci/jqr@input") - can you try now with file paths and urls? see, e.g, https://github.com/ropensci/jqr/blob/input/R/jqr.R#L30-L37

Ah sorry @sckott I didn't realize you were also working on this. I just pushed streaming support to master.

@jeroen no worries, my attempt was just trying to handle files and urls, i'm sure what you did is better

from jqr.

Yes I rewrote the internals on my flight to YVR. You can now do incremental parsing. See ?jqr_new.

with 72d4a8e...93fe60a

we now can pass a file or url as a connection, like base::file() or base::url()

from jqr.

@cboettig see above comment. and update from master. Does that work to use file/url?

from jqr.

sorted now
