ezLoadRobj: Load R objects from various serialized formats

In uzh/ezRun: An R meta-package for the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing Data

Load R objects from various serialized formats

Description

This function loads R objects from files with different extensions (.qs2, .qs, .rds) by automatically detecting the file format based on the extension.

Usage

ezLoadRobj(filePath, nthreads = 1L)

Arguments

filePath	Character string specifying the path to the R object file.
nthreads	Integer specifying how many threads to use for qs/qs2 loading. Default is 1.

Details

The function checks if the required packages are available (qs2, qs) and loads the appropriate package for the file extension. Supported formats:

• .qs2 - Uses qs2::qread() for fastest serialization

• .qs - Uses qs::qread() for fast serialization

• .rds - Uses base::readRDS() for standard R serialization

Value

The R object stored in the file.
