While Bioconductor [@gentleman2004bioconductor] provides excellent infrastructure for genomics data, no equivalent standardized framework exists for drug databases. `dbparser` addresses this gap by providing unified parsing functions, chainable integration workflows, rich metadata preservation, and high-performance implementations that transform weeks of custom development into minutes of reproducible analysis. -# State of the Field +# State of the field The landscape of tools for accessing pharmacological databases is fragmented across languages and lacks comprehensive integration capabilities. We surveyed existing solutions before developing `dbparser` and found significant gaps that justified new development rather than contribution to existing projects.
