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.

Embedded JavaScript and WebAssembly Engine for R

An R interface to V8 < https://v8.dev>: Google's open source JavaScript and WebAssembly engine. This package can be compiled either with V8 or NodeJS when built as a shared library.

A Compression Format Optimized for the Web

A lossless compressed data format that uses a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding < https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7932>. Brotli is similar in speed to deflate (gzip) but offers more dense compression.

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.

Provides Access to Git Repositories

Interface to the 'libgit2' library, which is a pure C implementation of the 'Git' core methods. Provides access to 'Git' repositories to extract data and running some basic 'Git' commands.

Producing and Reproducing Results

A system for embedded scientific computing and reproducible research with R. The OpenCPU server exposes a simple but powerful HTTP api for RPC and data interchange with R. This provides a reliable and scalable foundation for statistical services or building R web applications. The OpenCPU server runs either as a single-user development server within the interactive R session, or as a multi-user Linux stack based on Apache2. The entire system is fully open source and permissively licensed. The OpenCPU website has detailed documentation and example apps.

Tools for Managing SSH and Git Credentials

Setup and retrieve HTTPS and SSH credentials for use with 'git' and other services. For HTTPS remotes the package interfaces the 'git-credential' utility which 'git' uses to store HTTP usernames and passwords. For SSH remotes we provide convenient functions to find or generate appropriate SSH keys. The package both helps the user to setup a local git installation, and also provides a back-end for git/ssh client libraries to authenticate with existing user credentials.

Database Interface and MariaDB Driver

Implements a DBI-compliant interface to MariaDB (< https://mariadb.org/>) and MySQL (< https://www.mysql.com/>) databases.

Extract Text from Microsoft Word Documents

Wraps the 'AntiWord' utility to extract text from Microsoft Word documents. The utility only supports the old 'doc' format, not the new xml based 'docx' format. Use the 'xml2' package to read the latter.

Parsing and Evaluation Tools that Provide More Details than the Default

Parsing and evaluation tools that make it easy to recreate the command line behaviour of R.
