A Simple and Performant Native R Reader & Writer for Zarr Arrays

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 2.1.43

The Zarr specification defines a format for chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays. Its design allows efficient access to subsets of the stored array, and supports both local and cloud storage systems. Rarr aims to implement this specification in R with minimal reliance on an external tools or libraries.
