Declared
Method, Declared Method Licence figures come from the Licences
License field of each package's DESCRIPTION file, read the way R itself reads it. No licence file is opened.tools::analyze_license() and R's own licence database, as CRAN's checks read it.| is read, so one string can offer two families.
| Field | stringb |
|---|---|
| Title | Convenient Base R String Handling |
| Licence | MIT + file LICENSE |
| As R reads it | MIT with a file, OSI approved |
| Needs R | >= 3.0.0 |
| System requirements | None |
OSI approval comes from R's licence database and the ids from SPDX. No licence here is judged against another.
Health
Method, Health Method CRAN runs every current package through Checks and health
R CMD check on a set of machines and publishes a result for each one. The health shown on a package page comes from these results alone.
Nothing here is on record for it.
Downloads
Method, Downloads Method Download figures count requests logged by each distribution channel. They are not counts of installs or of users, because each channel publishes its own totals and this site reads them.Downloads

Dependencies
Method, Dependencies Method Dependent packages are other packages that list this one under Reverse dependencies
Depends, Imports or LinkingTo in their DESCRIPTION file. Those fields list the packages a package needs to install, so dependents break if this one is archived or broken.Suggests install and run without it, and use it for tests, examples or an optional feature. They are counted as Suggested by, never among the dependents, and a package that also lists it under one of the three fields is a dependent and is not counted again.
Code
Method, Code Method Code metrics come from reading the released source of each package version. The package is never installed, loaded or run.Code metrics
README, vignettes, a NEWS file and the shares read from its help pages. Files kept only in the repository, such as a pkgdown configuration or CI files, are read by the repository scan instead.

People
Method, People Method People on the site are the names packages give them in their Author and maintainer identity
DESCRIPTION files: authors from the author list, and the maintainer from the Maintainer field. Spellings of one name become one person only where the rules below allow it, and when in doubt the rules keep people apart.
Repository
Method, Repository Method Repository signals are the figures read from the source repository a package links to: stars, forks, issues, commits, releases and the time issues take to close. They are read from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg and Bitbucket.Repository signals
URL and BugReports fields of its DESCRIPTION file. Read-only mirrors, the cran and bioc accounts on GitHub and git.bioconductor.org, are left out.
