xlsx is intended to be a library to simplify reading the XML format used by recent version of Microsoft Excel in Go programs.
I've recently updated the code (23rd September 2013) to support a little more style information and made some of the code work concurrently, which will hopefully improve performance a little.
Updates are sporadic as I no longer rely on this code myself, but I'm always happy to look at patches and pull requests and I will try to respond to specific issues you might be having.
There are no current plans to support writing documents.
Presented here is a minimal example usage that will dump all cell data in a given XLSX file. A more complete example of this kind of functionality is contained int the XLSX2CSV program https://github.com/tealeg/xlsx2csv.:
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/tealeg/xlsx"
)
func main() {
excelFileName := "/home/tealeg/foo.xlsx"
xlFile, error := xlsx.OpenFile(excelFileName)
if error != nil {
...
}
for _, sheet := range xlFile.Sheets {
for _, row := range sheet.Rows {
for _, cell := range row.Cells {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", cell.String())
}
}
}
}Some additional information is available from the cell (for example, style information). For more details see the godoc output for this package.
