Overview

About

Maintained by Vignesh ThanikachalamFirst published 2026-06-243 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Reads and writes clinical-trial datasets losslessly across 'SAS' XPORT (XPT), Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Dataset-JSON, and 'Apache Parquet', applying a specification to produce submission-ready Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and Analysis Data Model (ADaM) datasets. A single canonical metadata model carries labels, CDISC data types, lengths, 'SAS' display formats, controlled-terminology references, and sort keys identically across every format, so conversion between any two formats is lossless by construction. Pure 'R' and lightweight, with no external 'SAS' or 'Java' runtime. Implements the published format specifications for CDISC Dataset-JSON (https://cdisc-org.github.io/DataExchange-DatasetJson/doc/dataset-json1-1.html) and 'SAS' XPORT (https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000466.shtml).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("artoo", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("vthanik/artoo")

Development version from vthanik/artoo. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-artoo

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-artoo

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-artoo

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
