object_to_string: Convert R objects to/from strings
Description
Serialise/deserialise an R object into a string. This is a very
thin wrapper around the existing R functions
serialize and rawToChar. This is
useful to encode arbitrary R objects as string to then save in
Redis (which expects a string).
Usage
object_to_string(obj)
string_to_object(str)
object_to_bin(obj, xdr = FALSE)
bin_to_object(bin)
Arguments
obj
An R object to convert into a string
str
A string to convert into an R object
xdr
Use the big-endian representation? Unlike,
serialize this is disabled here by default as it
is a bit faster (~ 20
microsecond roundtrip for a serialization of 100 doubles)
