# BiocPkgTools <!-- badges: start --> [](https://github.com/seandavi/BiocPkgTools/actions/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml) <!-- badges: end --> Bioconductor has a rich ecosystem of metadata around packages, usage, and build status. This package is a simple collection of functions to access that metadata from R in a tidy data format. The goal is to expose metadata for data mining and value-added functionality such as package searching, text mining, and analytics on packages. Functionality includes access to ***computable versions of***: - Download statistics - Detailed package information - Package dependendencies (and reverse dependencies) - Package BiocViews categories - Build reports - Vignettes (including examples of text mining)
