## Overview
-The R `{arrow}` package provides access to many of the features of the [Apache
Arrow C++ library](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/cpp/index.html) for R users.
The goal of arrow is to provide an Arrow C++ backend to `{dplyr}`, and access
to the Arrow C++ library through familiar base R and tidyverse functions, or
`{R6}` classes.
