+# Demos
+
+These demos are intended to demonstrate how to load this library in various
+ecosystems.  The library is designed to be used in the web browser and in node
+contexts, using dynamic feature tests to pull in features when necessary.  This
+works extremely well in common use cases: script tag insertion and node require.
+
+Systems like webpack try to be clever by performing simple static analysis to
+pull in code.  However, they do not support dynamic type tests, breaking
+compatibility with traditional scripts.  Configuration is required.  The demos
+cover basic configuration steps for various systems and should "just work".
+
+Mobile app and other larger demos do not include the full build structure. The
+demos have `Makefile` scripts that show how to reproduce the full projects.  The
+scripts have been tested against iOS and OSX.  For Windows platforms, GNU make
+can be installed with Bash on Windows or with `cygwin`.

+# x-spreadsheet
+
+The `sheet_to_json` utility function generates output arrays suitable for use
+with other JS libraries such as data grids for previewing data.  With a familiar
+UI, [`x-spreadsheet`](https://myliang.github.io/x-spreadsheet/) is an excellent
+choice for developers looking for a modern editor.
+
+[The new docs](https://docs.sheetjs.com/docs/demos/grid/#x-spreadsheet)
+include more detail and examples.
+
+The original demo is available at <https://docs.sheetjs.com/xspreadsheet/>
+
+A hosted version of the `xlsxspread.js` script is available on the SheetJS CDN:
+
+- <https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xspreadsheet/xlsxspread.js> original script
+- <https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xspreadsheet/xlsxspread.min.js> minified
