To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Model types in CoreXLSX directly map internal structure of XLSX format with more sensible naming applied to a few attributes. The API is pretty simple:

import CoreXLSX

guard let file = XLSXFile(filepath: "./categories.xlsx") else {
  fatalError("XLSX file corrupted or does not exist")
}

for path in try file.parseWorksheetPaths() {
  let ws = try file.parseWorksheet(at: path)
  for row in ws.sheetData.rows {
    for c in row.cells {
      print(c)
    }
  }
}

This prints every cell from every worksheet in the given XLSX file. Please refer to the Worksheet model for more atttributes you might need to read from a parsed file.

If you stumble upon a file that can't be parsed, please file an issue posting the exact error message. Thanks to use of standard Swift Codable protocol, detailed errors are generated listing a missing attribute, so it can be easily added to the model enabling broader format support. Attaching a file that can't be parsed would also greatly help in diagnosing issues. If these files contain any sensitive data, we suggest obfuscating or generating fake data with same tools that generated original files, assuming the issue can still be reproduced this way.

Since every XLSX file is a zip archive of XML files, CoreXLSX uses XMLCoder library and standard Codable protocols to map XML nodes and atrributes into plain Swift structs. ZIPFoundation is used for in-memory decompression of zip archives. A detailed description is available here.

Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code. It’s integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding CoreXLSX as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/MaxDesiatov/CoreXLSX.git", 
           .upToNextMajor(from: "0.3.0"))
]

CoreXLSX is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add pod 'CoreXLSX', '~> 0.3.0' to your Podfile like shown here:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
  pod 'CoreXLSX', '~> 0.3.0'
end

Carthage is a dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

Carthage can be installed with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

Inside of your Cartfile, add GitHub path to CoreXLSX master branch (Carthage support is not available in a stable release yet):

github "MaxDesiatov/CoreXLSX" "master"

Then, run the following command to build the framework:

$ carthage update

Drag the built frameworks (including the subdependencies XMLCoder and ZIPFoundation into your Xcode project.
