Viewing rds files?

[rkrug]

I might be missing it - but is there an easy way of viewing rds files? Like the viewers for e.g. parquet (e.g. parquet-viewer extension) to simply view the contents of an rds file?

Thanks @rkrug -- the Data Explorer is currently focused on in-memory data for R/Python.

We may explore on-disk views, likely starting with cross-language formats like parquet, CSV, and perhaps arrow. See more at #2187

Thanks @jthomasmock . That is exactly what I was looking for.

I hope in arrow you also include parquet?

Looking forward to that - sounds great! Let me know if there is a something I could test..

Great! Nothing to report or test yet, but you might subscribe to: #2187 to keep up to date or ask questions/share interest.

Done. Thanks.
