And there is RApiSerialize: https://cran.r-project.org/package=RApiSerialize It takes R Core code and provides it in a package. That allows R Core to one day change the non-exported API (so far it hasn't happened in the eight years since the 0.1.0 release) yet lets packages use serialization: RcppRedis and the excellent qs package make use of it.
Thanks for the link! Since I only need a hash of the serialised data, not the data itself, the callback interface is perfect for me, but I do realise that I'm relying on something that isn't promised to keep being there. I'll definitely keep RApiSerialize in mind.
Best regards, Ivan
