Open XML SDK VS CsvHelper

While it doesn't appear to have been updated in many years, Microsoft built a similarly useful tool[1] that lets you browse the structure of a given Office document and see C# code that generates various components of it.

[1] https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK/releases/tag/v2.5

If you use this check out the productivity tool, it will convert a word doc to csharp for you. https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK/releases/tag/v2.5

You’re looking for OpenXML handling. C# probably has the best support, since there’s a Microsoft supported SDK - https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK

https://github.com/dotnet/Open-XML-SDK Yeah, it can be kind of wrapped with pythonnet and stuff. But having it totally pyhtonized would be sooooo great.

As an alternative, you could use the Powershell module Open-XML-SDK or PSwriteWord, or PSWriteOffice

PackageLoader was introduced in https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK/commit/522200f65b9182f65a112130f830403467f54936

In the official GitHub repository you will find similar tools listed, if you have a very particular requirement not fulfilled by OpenXML SDK.

Or alternatively you can create a .NET application using the Open XML SDK that does the same thing.

This looks amazing and I'd love to try it out for this one thing I have in mind.

I'm not familiar with the Deno part of Typescript. Would it somehow be possible to use a C# library as a dependency?

For example https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK I need for a way to edit (not create) the openXML content of Microsoft Office files

I would also say either a logging framework or one of the many NuGet packages. Like CsvHelper.

I've been using CsvHelper for a long time and I quite like it. It's flexible and configurable enough to suit all my needs. Though the authors have unpleasant habit of introducing breaking changes (currently they are at major version 30).

It's really slow compared to (for example) csvhelper. I tried to use the built in microsoft stuff to handle a data transformation routine using excel files, turning them into csvs and using the csv library sped up the process from 3-4 minutes to about 8 seconds.

How might it compare to https://www.nuget.org/packages/CsvHelper/?

Let me guess, you replaced a string.Split(',') with CsvHelper?

I use CSVHelper https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/ it has a WriteRecords function that will write out your objects

I would recommend looking at this popular library for reading / writing to csv files. https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/

This is probably a bit churlish to complain about, since it's an entirely free tool that has saved me a lot of time and effort, but I'm baffled by the documentation for CsvHelper by Josh Close.

https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/ is a good library for creating CSVs, but you need to tell us more about who is consumer of this export and may be there is a more direct approach
