h5lite: Simplified 'HDF5' Interface
A user-friendly interface for the Hierarchical Data Format 5 ('HDF5') library designed to "just work." It bundles the necessary system libraries to ensure easy installation on all platforms. Features smart defaults that automatically map R objects (vectors, matrices, data frames) to efficient 'HDF5' types, removing the need to manage low-level details like dataspaces or property lists. Uses the 'HDF5' library developed by The HDF Group <https://www.hdfgroup.org/>.
