Interface to the 'HDF5' Binary Data Format

'HDF5' is a data model, library and file format for storing and managing large amounts of data. This package provides a nearly feature complete, object oriented wrapper for the 'HDF5' API < https://support.hdfgroup.org/documentation/hdf5/latest/_r_m.html> using R6 classes. Additionally, functionality is added so that 'HDF5' objects behave very similar to their corresponding R counterparts.
