​That looks like a JSON array of objects to me. I would look into
"jsonlite", "rjson", or "RJSONIO" on CRAN. You'll need to review them to

​ Please change to plain text. In many cases HTML displays poorly due to
the list trying to change it for you to plain text. And, in that case,
you'll likely be ignored.
