\title{
parser for mzXML, mzData, mzML and mzid files (mass spectrometry data)
}
\description{
  The mzR package is a library purely for accessing mass spectrometry
  data in a wide range of formats. Several backend libraries are used,
  such as the ISB random acces parser (RAMP) and ProteoWizard (pwiz) for mass
  spectrometry mzXML, mzData, mzML and mzid files. The package
  contains the original RAMP code written by the ISB, and a
  subset of the proteowizard library for mzML and mzid.
