QXlsx is a C++ library for reading and writing Excel (*.xlsx) files, built on the Qt framework. It is the maintained successor to the discontinued QtXlsxWriter project and can be used either as a library or compiled directly into a Qt project.

Use cases

• read and write xlsx files from a Qt C++ application
• generate Excel spreadsheets programmatically in C++
• parse Excel workbooks without Microsoft Office installed
• replace the abandoned QtXlsxWriter library
• export Qt table data to Excel format
• embed xlsx support in a Qt desktop app without static or shared libraries

When to choose

• your project already uses Qt and needs xlsx read/write support
• you want a maintained replacement for QtXlsxWriter
• you need header-style integration via qmake or cmake without external binary dependencies

When to avoid

• your project does not use Qt and you want a standalone C++ xlsx library (consider xlnt or OpenXLSX)
• you need to write legacy .xls files rather than .xlsx
• you need heavy spreadsheet features like macros or complex charts
