Hi all,
Is there any relationship between save and serialize? Do they use the
same algorithm?
See the R-internals manual: there is more info in the R-devel version,
not least because saveRDS() is added to the mix.
But basically serialize() and saveRDS() use the same format, and
save() writes a header and then serializes a pairlist of the objects
given.
'The same algorithm' is somewhat misleading here: strictly no, as they
manage to use four entry points to the code base.
