JSON Components to separate Data Frames in R

Question

This is information parsed from resumes I have a JSON file like,

object {2}
   data {1}
     resume{100}
       1{23}
         name: value
         work{3}
              title: value
              start date: value  
              end date: value
              2{20}
          ...

and so on,

I would like to create separate data frames or separate rows in the same data frame in R for all the resumes,

R Data Frame ,
Columns: name, work.title, work.start_date,work.end_date 

Row1: Information from 1st resume in JSON file

Row2: Information from 2nd resume in JSON file

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you, Parth

As Jerome asked, here is sample of the json file

The jsonlite package does this automatically. For example:

library(jsonlite)
out <- fromJSON("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Rash2Svf")

# Extract resumes
resumes <- out$data$resumes
names(resumes)

# Work experiences for candidate 1 
print(resumes[[1, "workExperiences"]])

# Educations for candidate 2
print(resumes[[2, "educations"]])
