RApiSerialize:C-level Serialization from R
Synopsis
This package provides C-level serialization as R does for itself. Itis useful if you are writing C (or C++) code in an R package which needsto (un)serialize R data structures, and wants to do it faster thancalling the corresponding R level function would do.
In other words, this is somewhat specialised for situation of highdata throughput, or other cases of a need for high performance. Or maybeyou are just impatient and want the result faster.
This package owes a lot of debt to theRhpc package by Ei-jiNakama and Junji Nakano. It gave me the idea of using a copy of the codewhich is not exported by R itself. And of course credit is due to the RCore team for writing R, and the code used here.
Example use
