## Overview
Haven enables R to read and write various data formats used by other statistical packages by wrapping the fantastic [ReadStat](https://github.com/WizardMac/ReadStat) C library written by [Evan Miller](https://www.evanmiller.org). Haven is part of the [tidyverse](https://www.tidyverse.org/). Currently it supports:
* __SAS__: `read_sas()` reads `.sas7bdat` + `.sas7bcat` files and `read_xpt()`
reads SAS transport files (versions 5 and 8). `write_xpt()` writes SAS
transport files (versions 5 and 8).
* __SPSS__: `read_sav()` reads `.sav` files and `read_por()` reads the
older `.por` files. `write_sav()` writes `.sav` files.
* __Stata__: `read_dta()` reads `.dta` files (up to version 15).
`write_dta()` writes `.dta` files (versions 8-15).
The output objects:
* Are [tibbles](https://github.com/tidyverse/tibble), which have a better print
method for very long and very wide files.
* Translate value labels into a new `labelled()` class, which preserves the
original semantics and can easily be coerced to factors with `as_factor()`.
Special missing values are preserved. See `vignette("semantics")` for
more details.
* Dates and times are converted to R date/time classes. Character vectors are
not converted to factors.
## Installation
```{r, eval = FALSE}
# The easiest way to get haven is to install the whole tidyverse:
install.packages("tidyverse")
# Alternatively, install just haven:
install.packages("haven")
```
## Usage
```{r, eval = FALSE}
library(haven)
# SAS
read_sas("mtcars.sas7bdat")
write_xpt(mtcars, "mtcars.xpt")
# SPSS
read_sav("mtcars.sav")
write_sav(mtcars, "mtcars.sav")
# Stata
read_dta("mtcars.dta")
write_dta(mtcars, "mtcars.dta")
```
