# calamine
An Excel/OpenDocument Spreadsheets file reader, in pure Rust.

[Documentation](https://docs.rs/calamine/)
## Description
**calamine** is a pure Rust library to read any spreadsheet file:
- excel like (`xls`, `xlsx`, `xlsm`, `xlsb`, `xla`, `xlam`)
- opendocument spreadsheets (`ods`)
As long as your files are *simple enough*, this library should just work.
For anything else, please file an issue with a failing test or send a pull request!
## Examples
### Simple
```rust
let mut excel = Sheets::open("file.xlsx").unwrap();
let r = excel.worksheet_range("Sheet1").unwrap();
for row in r.rows() {
println!("row={:?}, row[0]={:?}", row, row[0]);
}
```
### More complex
```rust
use calamine::{Sheets, Range, DataType};
// opens a new workbook
let path = "/path/to/my/excel/file.xlsm";
let mut workbook = Sheets::open(path).unwrap();
// Read whole worksheet data and provide some statistics
if let Ok(range) = workbook.worksheet_range("Sheet1") {
let total_cells = range.get_size().0 * range.get_size().1;
let non_empty_cells: usize = range.rows().map(|r| {
r.iter().filter(|cell| cell != &&DataType::Empty).count()
}).sum();
println!("Found {} cells in 'Sheet1', including {} non empty cells",
total_cells, non_empty_cells);
}
// Check if the workbook has a vba project
if workbook.has_vba() {
let mut vba = workbook.vba_project().expect("Cannot find VbaProject");
let vba = vba.to_mut();
let module1 = vba.get_module("Module 1").unwrap();
println!("Module 1 code:");
println!("{}", module1);
for r in vba.get_references() {
if r.is_missing() {
println!("Reference {} is broken or not accessible", r.name);
}
}
}
// You can also get defined names definition (string representation only)
for &(ref name, ref formula) in excel.defined_names().expect("Cannot get defined names!") {
println!("name: {}, formula: {}", name, formula);
}
```

## Performance
While there is no official benchmark yet, my first tests show a significant boost compared to official C# libraries:
- Reading cell values: at least 3 times faster
- Reading vba code: calamine does not read all sheets when opening your workbook, this is not fair
## Unsupported
Many (most) part of the specifications are not implemented, the focus has been put on reading cell **values** and **vba** code.
The main unsupported items are:
- no support for writing excel files, this is a read-only libray
- no support for reading extra contents, such as formatting, excel parameter, encrypted components etc ...
- no support for reading VB for opendocuments
## Credits
Thanks to [xlsx-js](https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx) developpers!
This library is by far the simplest open source implementation I could find and helps making sense out of official documentation.
