The `MsBackendMassbank` package provides functionality to import and handle
MS/MS spectrum data from [Massbank](https://github.com/MassBank/MassBank-data)
files or to directly access a MassBank SQL database. The package defines the
`MsBackendMassbank` and `MsBackendMassbankSql` backends which can be used to
import and use MS2 spectrum data from mgf files respectively MySQL databases
with the [Spectra](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/Spectra) R package.
For more information see the package
[homepage](https://rformassspectrometry.github.io/MsBackendMassbank).
# Installation
The package can be installed with
```r
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("MsBackendMassbank")
```
