Table.from_json

[rdmurphy]

This crossed my mind when I mentioned GeoJSON in #340 — should Table have a from_json() function to go along with from_csv()?

May help make agate more API consumer friendly. It's a little hairier than CSV due to the ability to nest. That fit in the scope of the project?

Yes, absolutely. I think other than CSV this is probably the only data format I want to support in core. (Both because it's common and because Python has a standard library to support.) csvkit's json convertor probably gets us most of the way there.

@r0fls would you like me to assign you this ticket since you've got a start on it in #347?

[onyxfish]

Assigned to @r0fls, by way of a label, since apparently you can't assign a ticket without granting push access.
