rrefine

Introduction

OpenRefine (formerly Google Refine) is a popular, open source data cleaning software. rrefine enables users to programmatically trigger data transfer between R and OpenRefine. Using the functions available in this package, you can import, export, apply data cleaning operations, or delete a project in OpenRefine directly from R. There are several client libraries for automating OpenRefine tasks via Python, nodeJS and Ruby. rrefine extends this functionality to R users.

The development version of rrefine is available on GitHub and can be installed via devtools:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vpnagraj/rrefine")
