Self-contained CMake project if you use CMake for your own project, you can add the OpenXLSX folder as a subdirectory You can find installation instructions on The OpenXLSX library is located in the OpenXLSX subdirectory to this repo. Therefore, you must install CMake first, in order to build OpenXLSX. OpenXLSX uses CMake as the build system (or build system generator, to be exact). Visual Studio 2017 should also work, but hasn't been tested. The following compiler versions should be able to compile OpenXLSXĬlang 7 should be able to compile OpenXLSX, but apparently there is aīug in the implementation of std::variant, which causes compiler errors. Note thatĪ '-' doesn't mean that OpenXLSX doesn't work it just means that it OpenXLSX has been tested on the following platforms/compilers. it's not necessary to download and buildĪlso, focus has been put on speed, not memory usage (although there are options for reducing the memory usage,Īt the cost of speed more on that later). These libraries are all header-only and included in the repository, i.e. Boost.Nowide (for opening files with non-ASCII names on Windows).Currently, OpenXLSX depends on the following Modify Excel files (data as well as formatting), and do so with as fewĭependencies as possible. The ambition is that OpenXLSX should be able to read, write, create and Smaller feature set than for other languages.īecause there are no open source library that fully fitted my needs, Iĭecided to develop the OpenXLSX library. There are some libraries, they are generally less mature and have a For C++, however, things are more scattered. Many programming languages have the ability to modify Excel files,Įither natively or in the form of open source libraries. OpenXLSX is a C++ library for reading, writing, creating and modifying
