Description
R Bindings to the 'Fstlib' Library.
Description
The 'fstlib' library provides multithreaded serialization of compressed data frames using the 'fst' format. The 'fst' format allows for random access of stored data and compression with the 'LZ4' and 'ZSTD' compressors.

Overview
R package fstcore
contains R bindings to the C++ fstlib
library which allows interfacing with fst files. It also contains the LZ4
and ZSTD
sources used for compression. fstcore
exists as a package separate from the fst
package to facilitate independent updates to the fstlib
, LZ4
and ZSTD
libraries and is used as a backend to fst
.
Installation
Package fstcore
is automatically installed as a dependency when you install the fst
package from CRAN. If you need to install it directly, you can use:
install.packages("fstcore")
You can also use the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fstpackage/fstcore", ref = "develop")
Basic usage
Please refer to https://www.fstpackage.org/fst to get an introduction to using the fst
package.
