Usage

save_object(object, file_name, file_format = "lz4")

Arguments

object

Object to be saved to disk.

file_name

Name of the file where the R object is saved to.

file_format

One of "lz4", "gzip", "bzip2","xz", "nocomp". lz4 is the best option, fast compression and loading times, low space usage. Format "lz4" is only available if package archive is installed. Format "zstd" is not supported anymore as the library now needs to be precompiled with R.
