The tidyverse is a collection of open source packages for the R programming language introduced by Hadley Wickham[1] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data.[2] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation and encouraging piping.[3][4][5]

As of November 2018, the tidyverse package and some of its individual packages comprise 5 out of the top 10 most downloaded R packages.[6] The tidyverse is the subject of multiple books and papers.[7][8][9][10] In 2019, the ecosystem has been published in the Journal of Open Source Software.[11]

Its syntax has been referred to as "supremely readable".[12] Critics of the tidyverse have argued it promotes tools that are harder to teach and learn than their base-R equivalents and are too dissimilar to other programming languages.[13][14] On the other hand, some[15] have argued that tidyverse is a very effective way to introduce complete beginners to programming, as pedagogically it allows students to quickly begin doing powerful data processing tasks.[16][15] Further to this, some practitioners have pointed out that data processing tasks are intuitively much easier to chain together with tidyverse compared to Python Pandas.[17]

Packages[edit]

The core packages, which provide functionality to model, transform, and visualize data, include:[18]

Additional packages assist the core collection.[19] Other packages based on the tidy data principles are regularly developed, such as tidytext[20] for text analysis, tidymodels[21] for machine learning, or tidyquant[22] for financial operations.
