The h5lite package provides a simple, lightweight, and user-friendly
interface for reading and writing HDF5 files. It is designed for R users
who want to save and load common R objects (vectors, matrices, arrays,
factors, and data.frames) to an HDF5 file without needing to understand
the low-level details of the HDF5 C API.
Simple API: Use familiar functions like h5_read() and h5_write().
Automatic Handling: Dimensions, data types, and group creation are handled automatically.
Safe by Default: Auto-selects a safe R data type for numeric data to prevent overflow.
Easy Installation: The required HDF5 library is bundled with the package.
