MiniExcel is a lightweight .NET library (with a Rust variant) for reading and writing Excel XLSX and CSV files using row-by-row streaming to minimize memory usage. It avoids loading entire workbooks into memory, preventing out-of-memory issues on large spreadsheets.

Use cases

  • export large datasets to excel without running out of memory
  • read xlsx files row by row in .net
  • generate excel reports from c#
  • import csv and xlsx data into dotnet applications
  • process huge spreadsheets with low memory footprint
  • convert ienumerable to excel file

When to choose

  • you need to read or write large Excel/CSV files in .NET with minimal memory usage
  • you want a simple, fast API without the overhead of full Excel object models
  • you need cross-platform spreadsheet processing without Excel installation

When to avoid

  • you need advanced Excel features like charts, pivot tables, or cell formatting manipulation
  • you need to modify existing complex workbooks in place
  • you are not working in .NET or Rust
