gooxml

README

gooxml is a library for creation of Office Open XML documents (.docx, .xlsx and .pptx). It's goal is to be the most compatible and highest performance Go library for creation and editing of docx/xlsx/pptx files.

Requires go1.8+, builds are tested with 1.8, 1.9 and tip.

Status

• Documents (docx) [Word]
  • Read/Write/Edit
  • Formatting
  • Images
  • Tables
• Spreadsheets (xlsx) [Excel]
  • Read/Write/Edit
  • Cell formatting including conditional formatting
  • Cell validation (drop down combobox, rules, etc.)
  • Retrieve cell values as formatted by Excel (e.g. retrieve a date or number as displayed in Excel)
  • Formula Evaluation (100+ functions supported currently, more will be added as required)
  • Embedded Images
  • All chart types
• PowerPoint (pptx) [PowerPoint]
  • Creation from templates
  • Textboxes/shapes

Performance

There has been a great deal of interest in performance numbers for spreadsheet creation/reading lately, so here are gooxml numbers for this benchmark which creates a sheet with 30k rows, each with 100 columns.

creating 30000 rows * 100 cells took 3.92506863s
saving took 89ns
reading took 9.522383048s

Creation is fairly fast, saving is very quick due to no reflection usage, and reading is a bit slower. The downside is that the binary is large (33MB) as it contains generated structs, serialization and deserialization code for all of DOCX/XLSX/PPTX.

Installation

go get git.yingcaibx.com/root/gooxml/

Raw Types

The OOXML specification is large and creating a friendly API to cover the entire specification is a very time consuming endeavor. This library attempts to provide an easy to use API for common use cases in creating OOXML documents while allowing users to fall back to raw document manipulation should the library's API not cover a specific use case.

The raw XML based types reside in the schema/ directory. These types are accessible from the wrapper types via a X() method that returns the raw type.

For example, the library currently doesn't have an API for setting a document background color. However it's easy to do manually via editing the CT_Background element of the document.

dox := document.New()
doc.X().Background = wordprocessingml.NewCT_Background()
doc.X().Background.ColorAttr = &wordprocessingml.ST_HexColor{}
doc.X().Background.ColorAttr.ST_HexColorRGB = color.RGB(50, 50, 50).AsRGBString()

Documentation

Overview

Package gooxml provides creation, reading, and writing of ECMA 376 Office Open XML documents, spreadsheets and presentations. It is still early in development, but is progressing quickly. This library takes a slightly different approach from others, in that it starts by trying to support all of the ECMA-376 standard when marshaling/unmarshaling XML documents. From there it adds wrappers around the ECMA-376 derived types that provide a more convenient interface.

The raw XML based types reside in the `schema/“ directory. These types are always accessible from the wrapper types via a `X() method that returns the raw type. Except for the base documents (document.Document, spreadsheet.Workbook and presentation.Presentation), the other wrapper types are value types with non-pointer methods. They exist solely to modify and return data from one or more XML types.

The packages of interest are git.yingcaibx.com/root/gooxml/document, baliance/gooxml/spreadsheet and git.yingcaibx.com/root/gooxml/presentation.

Example (Document)

package main

import (
	"git.yingcaibx.com/root/gooxml/document"

func main() {
	// see the git.yingcaibx.com/root/gooxml/document documentation or _examples/document
	// for more examples
	doc := document.New()
	doc.AddParagraph().AddRun().AddText("Hello World!")
	doc.SaveToFile("document.docx")
}

Example (Spreadsheeet)

	// for more examples
	ss := spreadsheet.New()
	sheet := ss.AddSheet()
	sheet.AddRow().AddCell().SetString("Hello")
	sheet.Cell("B1").SetString("World!")
	ss.SaveToFile("workbook.xlsx")

Consts for content types used throughout the package

const MinGoVersion = requires_go_18

MinGoVersion is used to cause a compile time error if gooxml is compiled with an older version of go. Specifically it requires a feature in go 1.8 regarding collecting all attributes from arbitrary xml used in decode gooxml.XSDAny.

const OpenSourceLicense = `` /* 271-byte string literal not displayed */

OpenSourceLicense is the AGPL open source license. It is installed by default if no license has previously been installed.

Variables

var Log = log.Printf

Log is used to log content from within the library. The intent is to use logging sparingly, preferring to return an error. At the very least this allows redirecting logs to somewhere more appropriate than stdout.

var ReleaseDate = time.Date(2018, 9, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

ReleaseDate is the release date of the source code for licensing purposes.

var ReleaseVersion = "v0.8000"

Release is the last release version of the software.
