C++ Interface to PostgreSQL

Fully DBI-compliant C++-backed interface to PostgreSQL < https://www.postgresql.org/>, an open-source relational database.

Rendering Math to HTML, 'MathML', or R-Documentation Format

Convert latex math expressions to HTML and 'MathML' for use in markdown documents or package manual pages. The rendering is done in R using the V8 engine (i.e. server-side), which eliminates the need for embedding the 'MathJax' library into your web pages. In addition a 'math-to-rd' wrapper is provided to automatically render beautiful math in R documentation files.

System Native Font Finding

Provides system native access to the font catalogue. As font handling varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate installed fonts across different operating systems. The 'systemfonts' package provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows, macOS and Linux for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g. graphic devices. The main use is intended to be from compiled code but 'systemfonts' also provides access from R.

POSIX System Utilities

Bindings to system utilities found in most Unix systems such as POSIX functions which are not part of the Standard C Library.

Client for 'jq', a 'JSON' Processor

Client for 'jq', a 'JSON' processor (< https://jqlang.github.io/jq/>), written in C. 'jq' allows the following with 'JSON' data: index into, parse, do calculations, cut up and filter, change key names and values, perform conditionals and comparisons, and more.

JSON for Linking Data

JSON-LD < https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/> is a light-weight syntax for expressing linked data. It is primarily intended for web-based programming environments, interoperable web services and for storing linked data in JSON-based databases. This package provides bindings to the JavaScript library for converting, expanding and compacting JSON-LD documents.

Tools for Working with JavaScript in R

A set of utilities for working with JavaScript syntax in R. Includes tools to parse, tokenize, compile, validate, reformat, optimize and analyze JavaScript code.

Google's Compact Language Detector 2

Bindings to Google's C++ library Compact Language Detector 2 (see < https://github.com/cld2owners/cld2#readme> for more information). Probabilistically detects over 80 languages in plain text or HTML. For mixed-language input it returns the top three detected languages and their approximate proportion of the total classified text bytes (e.g. 80% English and 20% French out of 1000 bytes). There is also a 'cld3' package on CRAN which uses a neural network model instead.

Base64 Encoder and Decoder

Compatibility wrapper to replace the orphaned package. New applications should use base64 encoders from 'jsonlite' or 'openssl' or 'base64enc'.

GNU Privacy Guard for R

Bindings to GnuPG for working with OpenGPG (RFC4880) cryptographic methods. Includes utilities for public key encryption, creating and verifying digital signatures, and managing your local keyring. Some functionality depends on the version of GnuPG that is installed on the system. On Windows this package can be used together with 'GPG4Win' which provides a GUI for managing keys and entering passphrases.
