title: 'flexstanr: Portable Backend Layer for ''Stan'' Models'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Gives a 'Stan'-based R package one interface for fitting its models through
  either 'rstan' or (optionally) 'cmdstanr'. Collects and validates sampler options,
  guarding against mixing one backend's argument vocabulary into the other, dispatches
  the fit to the chosen backend, and exposes backend-agnostic accessors for reading
  posterior draws, extracting parameters, and running generated quantities. The host
  package supplies its own compiled models; flexstanr resolves them from the calling
  package at run time, so the same code works whichever backend is installed.
