Roo is a Ruby library that provides read access to common spreadsheet formats including xlsx, xlsm, ods, and CSV, with extensions for xls and Google Sheets. It offers a unified API for opening workbooks, iterating sheets, and accessing rows, columns, and cells.
Use cases
- read data from xlsx files in ruby
- parse ods spreadsheets
- import csv data into a rails app
- extract rows and columns from excel workbooks
- process uploaded spreadsheet files
- convert spreadsheet data to ruby arrays
When to choose
- you need to read xlsx, xlsm, ods, or csv files in Ruby
- you want a single unified API across multiple spreadsheet formats
- you need to process spreadsheet uploads in a Rails application
When to avoid
- you need to write or create spreadsheet files (use caxlsx or similar)
- you need to edit Google Sheets (use the roo-google extension for write access)
- you work outside the Ruby ecosystem
