| # Preface |
| |
|  |
| |
| This cookbook aims to provide a number of recipes showing how to perform common |
| tasks using [arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/). This version of the |
| cookbook works with arrow >= 6.0.0, but in future we will maintain different |
| versions for the last few major R package releases. |
| |
| ## What is Arrow? |
| |
| Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory analytics. |
| The arrow R package provides a low-level interface to much of the functionality |
| available in the C++ implementation, as well as a higher-level interface to the |
| compute functionality via an implementation of the [dplyr](https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/) API. |
| |
| ## Alternative resources |
| |
| For a complete reference guide to the functions in arrow, as well as vignettes, |
| see [the pkgdown site](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/). |
| |
| If you have any requests for new recipes, please open a ticket via |
| [the cookbook's GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/apache/arrow-cookbook/issues). |
| |
| If you have any Arrow feature requests to make or bugs to report, please |
| [open an issue on the project JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/ARROW/issues) |
