A PHP library for reading and writing simple Excel (xlsx) and CSV files with a fluent API. It uses generators and LazyCollections to keep memory usage low even when processing very large files.
Use cases
- read rows from a csv file in php
- export data to an excel xlsx file
- import large csv files without running out of memory
- convert csv to xlsx
- stream spreadsheet rows lazily
- write database records to an excel export
When to choose
- you need simple row-based reading or writing of xlsx or csv in PHP
- you work with large files and need low memory usage via generators
- you want a Laravel-friendly API returning LazyCollections
When to avoid
- you need complex spreadsheet features like formulas, styling, charts, or multiple sheets
- you need to manipulate existing Excel files cell-by-cell
- you are not working in PHP
