Caching

hoardr is a client for caching files and managing those files. You can definitely achieve the same tasks without a separate pacakge, and there’s a number of packages for caching various objects in R already.

The use cases I typically need hoardr for are when dealing with large files, either text (e.g., csv) or binary (e.g., shp) files that would be nice to not make the user of packages I maintain download again if they already have the file....
