The tibble package provides utilities for handling \strong{tibbles}, where
"tibble" is a colloquial term for the S3 \code{\link{tbl_df}} class. The \code{\link{tbl_df}}
class is a special case of the base \code{\link[base:data.frame]{data.frame}}
class, developed in response to lessons learned over many years of data
analysis with data frames.

Tibble is the central data structure for the set of packages known as the
\href{https://www.tidyverse.org/packages/}{tidyverse}, including
\href{https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/}{dplyr},
\href{https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/}{ggplot2},
\href{https://tidyr.tidyverse.org/}{tidyr}, and
\href{https://readr.tidyverse.org/}{readr}.
