SpectraStash
This is the development version of SpectraStash; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.
Serialize and restore Spectra objects in interoperable file formats
Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 0.99.2
The serialization mechanism of R allows to save and load R data objects in a binary format, that can however not be read by other programming languages or software. The SpectraStash package implements the serialization methods from the MsStash package for Spectra objects and its MsBackend classes. A variety of different file formats and types, including HDF5 and JSON-based formats defined by the Bioconductor *alabaster* package are supported. The file type can be defined and configured through a second argument `param` of the save/read methods.
