title: 'artoo: Lossless CDISC-Native Input and Output for Clinical Datasets'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.artoo
abstract: Reads and writes clinical-trial datasets losslessly across 'SAS' XPORT (XPT),
  Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Dataset-JSON, and 'Apache
  Parquet', applying a specification to produce submission-ready Study Data Tabulation
  Model (SDTM) and Analysis Data Model (ADaM) datasets. A single canonical metadata
  model carries labels, CDISC data types, lengths, 'SAS' display formats, controlled-terminology
  references, and sort keys identically across every format, so conversion between
  any two formats is lossless by construction. Pure 'R' and lightweight, with no external
  'SAS' or 'Java' runtime. Implements the published format specifications for CDISC
  Dataset-JSON (<https://cdisc-org.github.io/DataExchange-DatasetJson/doc/dataset-json1-1.html>)
  and 'SAS' XPORT (<https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000466.shtml>).
