Chapter 5 Tibbles

Tibbles are rectangular tables of data and the basic data structure of the tidyverse. As we have been using them without knowing their properties, it is time to take a closer look at them.

Figure 5.1: Data wrangling in the tidyverse typically involves tibbles.

In this chapter, we use the tibble package (Müller & Wickham, 2023), which provides us with new ways of creating and using rectangular tables of data.
