Package

r-biocio

Description

Standard Input and Output for Bioconductor Packages. Implements
`import()` and `export()` standard generics for importing and exporting
biological data formats. `import()` supports whole-file as well as
chunk-wise iterative import. The `import()` interface optionally
provides a standard mechanism for 'lazy' access via `filter()` (on row
or element-like components of the file resource), `select()` (on column-
like components of the file resource) and `collect()`. The `import()`
interface optionally provides transparent access to remote (e.g. via
https) as well as local access. Developers can register a file
extension, e.g., `.loom` for dispatch from character-based URIs to
specific `import()` / `export()` methods based on classes representing
file types, e.g., `LoomFile()`.
