### Synopsis

This package provides C-level serialization as R does for itself. It is
useful if you are writing C (or C++) code in an R package which needs to
(un)serialize R data structures, and wants to do it faster than calling the
corresponding R level function would do.

In other words, this is somewhat specialised for situation of high data
throughput, or other cases of a need for high performance. Or maybe you are
just impatient and want the result faster.

This package owes a lot of debt to the
[Rhpc](https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rhpc) package by
Ei-ji Nakama and Junji Nakano. It gave me the idea of using a copy of the
code which is not exported by R itself. And of course credit is due to the R
Core team for writing R, and the code used here.

### Example use

See my [RcppRedis](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppredis) package for use
of this package

### Copyrights

Copyrights are held by the respective authors, in particular
Ei-ji Nakama and Junji Nakano as well as the R Core Team
for the intial version of the actual serialization code, and
Dirk Eddelbuettel for subsequent modificatons and the remainder
of the package.
