cso_get_vars

Reads the metadata of a table to return a character vector of the
included variables and statistics in the table.

Imports 'PxStat' data in JSON-stat format and (optionally) reshapes it into wide
format. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) is the national statistical institute of Ireland
and 'PxStat' is the CSOs online database of Official Statistics. This database contains current
and historical data series compiled from CSO statistical releases and is accessed at
<http://data.cso.ie>.
The CSO 'PxStat' Application Programming Interface (API), which is accessed in this package, provides
access to 'PxStat' data in JSON-stat format at <http://data.cso.ie>.
This dissemination tool allows developers machine to machine access to CSO 'PxStat' data.
