I am considering replacing some uses of save, which exports .Rdata files, with dump, which produces text representations of R objects.
Is it safe to assume that files created using dump will be readable by R installed on different operating systems (e.g. linux, mac, windows)?
Even those from
save()are readable on all platforms — I would stick with that format if your goal is cross-platform use rather than cross-application use (in which case you need a format read by all applications…).
