A Simple and Robust JSON Parser and Generator for R

A reasonably fast JSON parser and generator, optimized for statistical data and the web. Offers simple, flexible tools for working with JSON in R, and is particularly powerful for building pipelines and interacting with a web API. The implementation is based on the mapping described in the vignette (Ooms, 2014). In addition to converting JSON data from/to R objects, 'jsonlite' contains functions to stream, validate, and prettify JSON data. The unit tests included with the package verify that all edge cases are encoded and decoded consistently for use with dynamic data in systems and applications.

Database Interface and 'MySQL' Driver for R

Legacy 'DBI' interface to 'MySQL' / 'MariaDB' based on old code ported from S-PLUS. A modern 'MySQL' client written in 'C++' is available from the 'RMariaDB' package.

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 version 6 and up or NodeJS when built as a shared library.

3D Visualization Using OpenGL

Provides medium to high level functions for 3D interactive graphics, including functions modelled on base graphics (plot3d(), etc.) as well as functions for constructing representations of geometric objects (cube3d(), etc.). Output may be on screen using OpenGL, or to various standard 3D file formats including WebGL, PLY, OBJ, STL as well as 2D image formats, including PNG, Postscript, SVG, PGF.

A Modern and Flexible Web Client for R

The curl() and curl_download() functions provide highly configurable drop-in replacements for base url() and download.file() with better performance, support for encryption (https, ftps), gzip compression, authentication, and other 'libcurl' goodies. The core of the package implements a framework for performing fully customized requests where data can be processed either in memory, on disk, or streaming via the callback or connection interfaces. Some knowledge of 'libcurl' is recommended; for a more-user-friendly web client see the 'httr' package which builds on this package with http specific tools and logic.

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.

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.

Fast and Simple Badge Generator

Bindings to 'badgen' < https://www.npmjs.com/package/badgen> to generate beautiful 'svg' badges in R without internet access. Images can be converted to 'png' using the 'rsvg' package as shown in examples.

'Blowfish' Password Hashing Algorithm

Bindings to the 'blowfish' password hashing algorithm derived from the 'OpenBSD' implementation.

A Compression Format Optimized for the Web

A lossless compressed data format that uses a combination of the LZ77 algorithm and Huffman coding. Brotli is similar in speed to deflate (gzip) but offers more dense compression.
