R Parsing error when trying to import JSON to R - r

Question

I've got a JSON file that looks like this
I am trying to import it into R using the jsonlite package.
#Load package for import
library(jsonlite)
df <- fromJSON("test.json")
But it throws an error
Error in parse_con(txt, bigint_as_char) : parse error: trailing
garbage
ome in at a later time." } { "id": "e5fa37f44557c62ee
(right here) ------^
I've tried looking at all solutions on stackoverflow, but haven't been able to figure this out.
Any inputs would be very helpful.

The JSON file you linked contains two JSON objects. Perhaps you want an array:
[
{
"id": "71bb8883780bb152e4bb4db976bedc62",
"metadata": {
"abc_bad_date": "true",
"abc_client": "Hydra Corp",
"abc_doc_id": 1,
"abc_file": "Hydra Corp 2016.txt",
"abc_interview_type": "Post Analysis",
"abc_interviewee_role": "Director Corporate Engineering; Greater Chicago Area; Global Procurement Director Facilities and MRO",
"abc_interviewer": "Piper Thomas",
"abc_services_provided": "Food",
"section": "on_expectations"
},
"text": "Gerrit: There were a number ...."
},
{
"id": "e5fa37f44557c62eef44baafb13128f0",
"metadata": {
"abc_bad_date": "true",
"abc_client": "Hydra Corp",
"abc_doc_id": 1,
"abc_file": "Hydra Corp 2016.txt",
"abc_interview_type": "Post Analysis",
"abc_interviewee_role": "Director Corporate Engineering; Greater Chicago Area; Global Procurement Director Facilities and MRO",
"abc_interviewer": "Piper Thomas",
"abc_services_provided": "Painting",
"section": "on_relationships"
},
"text": "Gerrit: I thought the ABC ..."
}
]
