![R-CMD-check](https://github.com/JanMarvin/readspss/workflows/R-CMD-check/badge.svg) [![Codecov test coverage](https://codecov.io/gh/JanMarvin/readspss/branch/main/graph/badge.svg)](https://app.codecov.io/gh/JanMarvin/readspss?branch=main) [![r-universe](https://janmarvin.r-universe.dev/badges/readspss)](https://janmarvin.r-universe.dev/readspss) | ||

R package using Rcpp to parse an SPSS file into a data.frame(). Currently | ||
`read.sav` and `read.por` are the main functions and feature of this package. | ||
Writing of SPSS files is provided by `write.por` and `write.sav`. Writing is | ||
limited to uncompressed por and sav files and to compressed sav file. | ||
|
||
It works. Its read function is extensively tested on approximately 600+ | ||
sav-files and ~100 por-files. The code is maturing and is frequently tested. The | ||
read functions imports everything into a data frame. Including long strings and | ||
labels. Various features such as importing of value label or missings are tested | ||
and are working as intended. | ||
|
||
The package features reading of | ||
|
||
* sav files, | ||
* zsav files, | ||
* encrypted sav files and | ||
* por files | ||
|
||
and (experimental) writing support of (un)compressed | ||
|
||
* sav files and | ||
* zsav files and | ||
* por files. | ||
|
||
Because of the R code wrapped Rcpp functions the package is pretty fast. The | ||
R code for factor conversion slows things down a bit, changing the encoding a | ||
bit more. | ||
|
||
In comparison to `haven` and `foreign` this package preforms pretty well. It | ||
reads more files than each of its predecessors, some are only readable using | ||
`readspss` and it covers a few more cases of missing values. | ||
|
||
Focus was not so much on winning every benchmark, but reading all features of | ||
an SPSS file and to be as exactly as possible. So some benchmarks are | ||
won and others are lost. It is entirely up to the task. Besides the data | ||
itself `readspss` ships additional information provided by the SPSS files like | ||
the data label, documentation, date and timestamp. | ||
|
||
Reading of sav and por files is considered feature complete. | ||
|
||
Writing of (un)compressed sav and por files is implemented and considered | ||
working. Unsupported features are reading and writing of dates (might no | ||
longer be true) and writing of long strings. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
With `remotes`: | ||
```R | ||
remotes::install_github("JanMarvin/readspss") | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Or from [r-universe](https://r-universe.dev/) with: | ||
|
||
``` r | ||
options(repos = c( | ||
janmarvin = 'https://janmarvin.r-universe.dev', | ||
CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org')) | ||
install.packages('readspss') | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
```{r} | ||
fls <- system.file("extdata", "electric.sav", package = "readspss") | ||
flp <- system.file("extdata", "electric.por", package = "readspss") | ||
df_s <- read.sav(fls) | ||
df_p <- read.por(flp) | ||
all.equal(df_s, df_p, check.attributes = FALSE) | ||
