title: 'marshal: Framework to Marshal Objects to be Used in Another R Process'
version: 0.0.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.marshal
abstract: Some types of R objects can be used only in the R session they were created.
  If used as-is in another R process, such objects often result in an immediate error
  or in obscure and hard-to-troubleshoot outcomes. Because of this, they cannot be
  saved to file and re-used at a later time. They can also not be exported to a worker
  in parallel processing. These objects are sometimes referred to as non-exportable
  or non-serializable objects. One solution to this problem is to use "marshalling"
  to encode the R object into an exportable representation that then can be used to
  re-create a copy of that object in another R process. This package provides a framework
  for marshalling and unmarshalling R objects such that they can be transferred using
  functions such as serialize() and unserialize() of base R.
