What is PHPSpreadsheet?
PhpSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library that allows developers to read, write, and manipulate spreadsheet files programmatically. It supports various formats including Excel (XLSX, XLS), LibreOffice Calc (ODS), CSV, and HTML, enabling automation of spreadsheet-related tasks without requiring external software. The library provides a comprehensive API for creating dynamic reports, importing/exporting data, and performing calculations directly in PHP.
PHP developers who need to generate, parse, or modify spreadsheet files in their applications, such as those building reporting tools, data import/export features, or office automation systems.
Developers choose PhpSpreadsheet because it's a mature, feature-rich library written entirely in PHP with no external dependencies, making it easy to deploy and integrate. It offers extensive spreadsheet functionality comparable to proprietary tools while being open-source and actively maintained as the successor to the popular PHPExcel library.
