## Interface `XLSX` is the exposed variable in the browser and the exported node variable `XLSX.version` is the version of the library (added by the build script). `XLSX.SSF` is an embedded version of the [format library](https://git.io/ssf). ### Parsing functions `XLSX.read(data, read_opts)` attempts to parse `data`. `XLSX.readFile(filename, read_opts)` attempts to read `filename` and parse. Parse options are described in the [Parsing Options](#parsing-options) section. ### Writing functions `XLSX.write(wb, write_opts)` attempts to write the workbook `wb` `XLSX.writeFile(wb, filename, write_opts)` attempts to write `wb` to `filename`. In browser-based environments, it will attempt to force a client-side download. `XLSX.writeFileAsync(wb, filename, o, cb)` attempts to write `wb` to `filename`. If `o` is omitted, the writer will use the third argument as the callback. `XLSX.stream` contains a set of streaming write functions. Write options are described in the [Writing Options](#writing-options) section. ### Utilities Utilities are available in the `XLSX.utils` object and are described in the [Utility Functions](#utility-functions) section: **Constructing:** - `book_new` creates an empty workbook - `book_append_sheet` adds a worksheet to a workbook **Importing:** - `aoa_to_sheet` converts an array of arrays of JS data to a worksheet. - `json_to_sheet` converts an array of JS objects to a worksheet. - `table_to_sheet` converts a DOM TABLE element to a worksheet. - `sheet_add_aoa` adds an array of arrays of JS data to an existing worksheet. - `sheet_add_json` adds an array of JS objects to an existing worksheet. **Exporting:** - `sheet_to_json` converts a worksheet object to an array of JSON objects. - `sheet_to_csv` generates delimiter-separated-values output. - `sheet_to_txt` generates UTF16 formatted text. - `sheet_to_html` generates HTML output. - `sheet_to_formulae` generates a list of the formulae (with value fallbacks). **Cell and cell address manipulation:** - `format_cell` generates the text value for a cell (using number formats). - `encode_row / decode_row` converts between 0-indexed rows and 1-indexed rows. - `encode_col / decode_col` converts between 0-indexed columns and column names. - `encode_cell / decode_cell` converts cell addresses. - `encode_range / decode_range` converts cell ranges.
