Excelize is a library written in pure Go providing a set of functions that allow you to write to and read from XLSX / XLSM / XLTM files. Supports reading and writing spreadsheet documents generated by Microsoft Excel™ 2007 and later. Supports complex components by high compatibility, and provided a streaming API for generating or reading data from a worksheet with huge amounts of data. This library needs Go version 1.15 or later.
