rio-package


The aim of rio is to make data file I/O in R as easy as possible. <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/export?package=rio&version=0.4.16" data-mini-rdoc="rio::export">export</a></code> and <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/import?package=rio&version=0.4.16" data-mini-rdoc="rio::import">import</a></code> serve as a Swiss-army knife for painless data I/O for data from almost any file format by inferring the data structure from the file extension, natively reading web-based data sources, setting reasonable defaults for import and export, and relying on efficient data import and export packages. An additional convenience function, <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/convert?package=rio&version=0.4.16" data-mini-rdoc="rio::convert">convert</a></code>, provides a simple method for converting between file types.
<a href="https://github.com/Stan125/GREA">GREA</a> provides an RStudio add-in to import data using rio.


Streamlined data import and export by making assumptions that
the user is probably willing to make: 'import()' and 'export()' determine
the data structure from the file extension, reasonable defaults are used for
data import and export (e.g., 'stringsAsFactors=FALSE'), web-based import is
natively supported (including from SSL/HTTPS), compressed files can be read
directly without explicit decompression, and fast import packages are used where
appropriate. An additional convenience function, 'convert()', provides a simple
method for converting between file types.
