Overview

About

Maintained by Rich FitzJohnFirst published 2017-05-155 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

A 'hiredis' wrapper that includes support for transactions, pipelining, blocking subscription, serialisation of all keys and values, 'Redis' error handling with R errors. Includes an automatically generated 'R6' interface to the full 'hiredis' API. Generated functions are faithful to the 'hiredis' documentation while attempting to match R's argument semantics. Serialisation must be explicitly done by the user, but both binary and text-mode serialisation is supported.
