The nodejs version automatically requires modules for additional features. Some
of these modules are rather large in size and are only needed in special
circumstances, so they do not ship with the core. For browser use, they must

## Usage
## Parsing Workbooks
Simple usage (walks through every cell of every sheet and dumps the values):
For parsing, the first step is to read the file.
if(typeof require !== 'undefined') XLSX = require('xlsx');
var workbook = XLSX.readFile('test.xlsx');
var sheet_name_list = workbook.SheetNames;
sheet_name_list.forEach(function(y) {
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[y];
for (z in worksheet) {
if(z[0] === '!') continue;
console.log(y + "!" + z + "=" + JSON.stringify(worksheet[z].v));
}
});
- nodejs:
An example of writing an array-of-arrays is available at <http://git.io/WEK88Q>
```
if(typeof require !== 'undefined') XLSX = require('xlsx');
var workbook = XLSX.readFile('test.xlsx');
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
```
The node version installs a binary `xlsx` which can read XLSX/XLSM/XLSB
files and output the contents in various formats. The source is available at
`xlsx.njs` in the bin directory.
- ajax:
See <http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xlsx/> for a browser example.
```
/* set up XMLHttpRequest */
var url = "test_files/formula_stress_test_ajax.xlsx";
var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
oReq.open("GET", url, true);
oReq.responseType = "arraybuffer";
oReq.onload = function(e) {
var arraybuffer = oReq.response;
/* convert data to binary string */
var data = new Uint8Array(arraybuffer);
var arr = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i != data.length; ++i) arr[i] = String.fromCharCode(data[i]);
var bstr = arr.join("");
/* Call XLSX */
var workbook = XLSX.read(bstr, {type:"binary"});
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
}
oReq.send();
```
- html5 drag-and-drop using readAsBinaryString:
```
/* set up drag-and-drop event */
function handleDrop(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
var files = e.dataTransfer.files;
var i,f;
for (i = 0, f = files[i]; i != files.length; ++i) {
var reader = new FileReader();
var name = f.name;
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
/* if binary string, read with type 'binary' */
var wb = XLSX.read(data, {type: 'binary'});
/* DO SOMETHING WITH workbook HERE */
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(f);
}
}
drop_dom_element.addEventListener('drop', handleDrop, false);
```
This example walks through every cell of every sheet and dumps the values:
```
var sheet_name_list = workbook.SheetNames;
sheet_name_list.forEach(function(y) {
var worksheet = workbook.Sheets[y];
for (z in worksheet) {
if(z[0] === '!') continue;
console.log(y + "!" + z + "=" + JSON.stringify(worksheet[z].v));
}
});
```

Note that older versions of IE does not support HTML5 File API, so the base64
mode is provided for testing. On OSX you can get the base64 encoding with:
$ <target_file.xlsx base64 | pbcopy # pbcopy puts the content in clipboard

- <http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xlsx/ajax.html> XMLHttpRequest
- <https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/blob/master/bin/xlsx.njs> nodejs
The nodejs version installs a binary `xlsx` which can read XLSX/XLSM/XLSB
files and output the contents in various formats. The source is available at
`xlsx.njs` in the bin directory.
Some helper functions in `XLSX.utils` generate different views of the sheets:
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv` generates CSV
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array` interprets sheets as tables with a
header column and generates an array of objects
- `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json` generates an array of objects
- `XLSX.utils.get_formulae` generates a list of formulae
For more details:
## Writing Workbooks
- `bin/xlsx.njs` is a tool for node
- `index.html` is the live demo
- `bits/90_utils.js` contains the logic for generating CSV and JSON from sheets
Assuming `workbook` is a workbook object, just call write:
- nodejs write to file:
```
/* output format determined by filename */
XLSX.writeFile(workbook, 'out.xlsx');
```
- write to binary string (using FileSaver.js)
```
/* bookType can be 'xlsx' or 'xlsm' or 'xlsb' */
var wopts = { bookType:'xlsx', bookSST:true, type:'binary' };
var wbout = XLSX.write(workbook,wopts);
function s2ab(s) {
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(s.length);
var view = new Uint8Array(buf);
for (var i=0; i!=s.length; ++i) view[i] = s.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF;
return buf;
}
saveAs(new Blob([s2ab(wbout)],{type:""}), "test.xlsx")
```
