unnest_auto

<code>unnest_auto()</code> picks between <code>unnest_wider()</code> or <code>unnest_longer()</code>
by inspecting the inner names of the list-col:<ul>
<li>If all elements are unnamed, it uses
<code>unnest_longer(indices_include = FALSE)</code>.</li>
<li>If all elements are named, and there's at least one name in
common across all components, it uses <code>unnest_wider()</code>.</li>
<li>Otherwise, it falls back to <code>unnest_longer(indices_include = TRUE)</code>.</li>
</ul>It's handy for very rapid interactive exploration but I don't recommend
using it in scripts, because it will succeed even if the underlying data
radically changes.

Tools to help to create tidy data, where each column is a
variable, each row is an observation, and each cell contains a single
value.  'tidyr' contains tools for changing the shape (pivoting) and
hierarchy (nesting and 'unnesting') of a dataset, turning deeply
nested lists into rectangular data frames ('rectangling'), and
extracting values out of string columns. It also includes tools for
working with missing values (both implicit and explicit).
