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
