Serialise/deserialise an R object into a string. This is a very
thin wrapper around the existing R functions
serialize and rawToChar. This is
useful to encode arbitrary R objects as string to then save in
Redis (which expects a string).
object_to_string(obj)
string_to_object(str)
object_to_bin(obj, xdr = FALSE)
bin_to_object(bin)An R object to convert into a string
A string to convert into an R object
Use the big-endian representation? Unlike,
serialize this is disabled here by default as it
is a bit faster (~ 20
microsecond roundtrip for a serialization of 100 doubles)
A binary vector to convert back to an R object
s <- object_to_string(1:10)
