datapackage

============================================================

`datapackage` is an R-package to work with [Data

Packages](https://datapackage.org). Data Packages are a combination of

data and meta data. The meta data contains a description of the data and

contains information like a title, description of the data set and a

description of the fields in each of the datasets in the Data Package. The

`datapackage` R-package offers methods for reading and inspecting Data Packages

as well as creating and modifying Data Packages. More information can be found

in the vignettes of the package:

- [Introduction to `datapackage`](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/djvanderlaan/datapackage/blob/main/inst/doc/introduction.html)

- [Creating a Data Package](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/djvanderlaan/datapackage/blob/main/inst/doc/creating_a_datapackage.html)

- [Overview of support for the Data Package v2 specification](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/djvanderlaan/datapackage/blob/main/inst/doc/support.html)

The package supports CSV-files out of the box. Other file formats are supported

through plugins. 

- [parquet](https://github.com/djvanderlaan/datapackage.parquet). This package

  also functions as an example implementation for implementing a plugin for a

  data format.
