Description

@krassowski

jupyterlab-spreadsheet depends on xlsx which seems to be the most popular choice. Alternatives include exceljs and xlsx-populate. This needs further evaluation (contributions welcome!).

We would ideally want to have:

  • typescript typings
  • modern codebase (no jQuery please)
  • both proprietary and open formats support
  • as little peer dependencies as possible
  • good maintainership history (especially with regard to security patches)
  • high fidelity/standard compliance

Implementation wise, we would want to implement:

  • multiple sheets support (but the initial proof-of-concept version could just use the first sheet)
  • "save as" feature so that one can convert Excel sheets into more friendly csv/tsv format

Please feel free to comment to add your own needs and wishes!
