Hm that is an incomplete specification: _what_ do you want to do with it? Read it back in R? Share it with other languages (like Python) ? I.e. what really is your use case? Also, you only seem to use readBin / writeBin. Why not readRDS / saveRDS which at least give you compression? If it is to read/write from / to R look into the qs package. It is good. The README.md at its repo has benchmarks: https://github.com/traversc/qs If you want to index into the stored data look into fst. Else also look at databases Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
