reshape2 is retired: only changes necessary to keep it on CRAN will be made. We recommend using tidyr instead.

Introduction

Reshape2 is a reboot of the reshape package. It’s been over five years since the first release of reshape, and in that time I’ve learned a tremendous amount about R programming, and how to work with data in R. Reshape2 uses that knowledge to make a new package for reshaping data that is much more focused and much much faster.

This version improves speed at the cost of functionality, so I have renamed it to reshape2 to avoid causing problems for existing users. Based on user feedback I may reintroduce some of these features.

What’s new in reshape2:

Initial benchmarking has shown melt to be up to 10x faster, pure reshaping cast up to 100x faster, and aggregating cast() up to 10x faster.
