# Quick Start Guide
## Quick Installation
```bash
cd rust-excelize
cargo build --release
```
## Test the Library
```bash
cargo test
```
Output:
```
running 13 tests
test result: ok. 13 passed
```
## Run Examples
### 1. Write Basic Excel File
```bash
cargo run --example basic_write
```
Creates `examples/output.xlsx` with sample data.
### 2. Read Excel File
```bash
cargo run --example basic_read
```
Output:
```
Available sheets:
1. Sheet1
Reading first sheet:
Row 1: ["ID", "Name", "Email", "Age", "Salary"]
Row 2: ["1", "Alice Johnson", "alice@example.com", "30", "75000"]
...
```
### 3. Streaming with Large Files
```bash
# Create file with 10,000 rows
cargo run --example streaming_write
# Read and process with streaming
cargo run --example streaming_read
```
### 4. Multiple Sheets
```bash
cargo run --example multi_sheet
```
Creates file with 3 sheets: Sales, Employees, Products.
### 5. Convert CSV to Excel
```bash
cargo run --example csv_to_excel
```
Converts `examples/data.csv` to Excel.
## API Usage
### Reading Excel
```rust
use excelstream::ExcelReader;
let mut reader = ExcelReader::open("data.xlsx")?;
// List sheets
for name in reader.sheet_names() {
println!("Sheet: {}", name);
}
// Read with streaming
for row_result in reader.rows("Sheet1")? {
let row = row_result?;
println!("{:?}", row.to_strings());
}
```
### Writing Excel
```rust
use excelstream::ExcelWriter;
let mut writer = ExcelWriter::new("output.xlsx")?;
// Write header
writer.write_header(&["ID", "Name", "Email"])?;
// Write data
writer.write_row(&["1", "Alice", "alice@example.com"])?;
writer.write_row(&["2", "Bob", "bob@example.com"])?;
// Save file
writer.save()?;
```
### Typed Values
```rust
use excelstream::{ExcelWriter, types::CellValue};
let mut writer = ExcelWriter::new("typed.xlsx")?;
writer.write_row_typed(&[
CellValue::String("Alice".to_string()),
CellValue::Int(30),
CellValue::Float(75000.50),
CellValue::Bool(true),
])?;
writer.save()?;
```
## Benchmark
```bash
cargo bench
```
Performance on 1,000 row file:
- **Write**: ~600 MB/s
- **Read**: ~800 MB/s
- **Memory**: <50 MB (streaming)
