Body
This might be a duplicate- but I couldn't find something to solve this problem. I'm using httpGET() to call the google directions API. Packages: <pre><code>require(RCurl) require(rjson) require(gooJSON) </code></pre> the code is: <pre><code>url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=12.9673293,77.7173975&destination=12.9373613,77.700985&waypoints=optimize:true|12.9723379,77.7117611|12.9922162,77.715895|12.9629354,77.7122996&sensor=false" routeJSON = httpGET(url= url) routeList = fromJSON(routeJSON) </code></pre> I get: <pre><code>Error in fromJSON(routeJSON) : unexpected escaped character '\]' at pos 18 </code></pre> I wrote the JSON to a file and copied it to jsoneditoronline.com. I got: <pre><code>Error: Parse error on line 51: ... "points" : "qscnA_djyMj@kAT[\]\ -----------------------^ Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined' validated by jsonlint </code></pre> But it works when I put the URL into the browser and copy the output to jsoneditoronline. Any idea why it is happening and/or how to circumvent it? EDIT: I tried gooJSON, but it seems it does not support the maps API V3. <pre><code>> goomap(url) $Status $Status$code [1] 610 $Status$request [1] "geocode" $Status$error_message [1] "The Geocoding API v2 has been turned down on September 9th, 2013. The Geocoding API v3 should be used now. Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/" </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
