xlnt is a modern C++11+ library for reading, writing, and manipulating XLSX spreadsheet files in memory, following the ECMA-376 standard. It provides a user-friendly API for creating workbooks, setting cell values and formulas, merging cells, and saving Excel-compatible files.

Use cases

  • read and write xlsx files from C++
  • generate Excel spreadsheets programmatically
  • parse spreadsheet data in a C++ application
  • create workbooks with formulas and merged cells
  • convert data to Excel format without Excel installed

When to choose

  • you need a native C++ library for XLSX files with no Excel dependency
  • you want a cross-platform, MIT-licensed spreadsheet library
  • you need a simple, high-level API for workbook manipulation

When to avoid

  • you need to read legacy .xls files
  • you need heavy chart or pivot-table support
  • you are working in Python or another language with openpyxl/pandas
