title: 'MsStash: Infrastructure to serialize and restore mass spectrometry data objects'
version: 0.99.0
abstract: The serialization mechanism of R allows to save and load R data objects
  in a binary format, that can however not be read by other programming languages
  or software. The MsStash package defines classes and method to enable serializing
  and restoring, or importing, mass spectrometry data objects to and from language
  agnostic file formats. A variety of different file types, including HDF5 and JSON-based
  formats defined by the Bioconductor *alabaster* package are supported. The file
  type can be defined and configured through a second argument `param` of the save/read
  methods. Additional packages extending MsStash provide the implementations to serialize/restore
  MS data objects.
