I have the following JSON
file.txt

I used jsonlite and was able to read and convert JSON into a data frame
k <- jsonlite::fromJSON("file.txt",simplifyDataFrame= T)
> head(k)

What I'm trying to do is get a data frame in the following format:
> head(k)
V1 V2
1417621083 71.72778
1417621204 70.76860
1417621384 70.92222
1417621564 70.84444
but I end up with the following and am not sure how to separate the unix timestamp into another field as for some reason it disappears:
try <- k[[3]]
try <- as.data.frame(t(try))
> head(try)
1
1417621083 71.72778
1417621204 70.76860
1417621384 70.92222
1417621564 70.84444
> colnames(try)
[1] "1"
colnames(try) <- c("one")
> data.frame(do.call('rbind', strsplit(as.character(try$one),' ',fixed=TRUE)))
do.call..rbind...strsplit.as.character.try.one........fixed...TRUE..

[4,] "70.8444444444444" ""
[5,] "71.3220338983051" ""
Could some please assist if I'm missing something here ?
