The `MsBackendMsp` package provides functionality to import and handle
MS/MS spectrum data from MSP files.
The package defines the `MsBackendMsp` backend which can be used to
import and use MS2 spectrum data from msp files with the
[Spectra](https://github.com/rformassspectrometry/Spectra) R package.
For more information see the package vignette or the package
[homepage](https://rformassspectrometry.github.io/MsBackendMsp).
# Installation
The package can be installed with
```r
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("MsBackendMsp")
```
