Arguments

(data.frame or object) An object to convert into a nested list.

spec

(tspec) Optional. A spec object which was used to create x. Defaults to the spec stored as the tib_spec attribute of x, if present.

Value

A nested list.

Examples

x <- tibble(
  a = 1:2,
  b = tibble(
    x = c("a", "b"),
    y = c(1.5, 2.5)
  )
)
untibblify(x)
#> [[1]]
#> [[1]]$a
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> [[1]]$b
#> [[1]]$b$x
#> [1] "a"
#> 
#> [[1]]$b$y
#> [1] 1.5

#> [[2]]
#> [[2]]$a
