It supports fast file reading/writing, joins, grouping, reshaping, and updates by reference. It is heavily used in large data workflows, big data in R, production pipelines, etc. Extremely efficient grouping/aggregation/summarization; can handle very large datasets (hundreds of millions to billions of rows) in memory (if available). Relies only on base R; maintained API, active community; good memory efficiency. Non-equi joins, overlapping range joins, ordered joins, joining with aggregations, etc.
