SheetJS js-xlsx VS yplatform

ExcelJS and XLSX (SheetJS) are great libraries to work with XLSX files. The former I've found a bit easier to work with but less efficient in general.

Sure. I manipulate excel files programatically in the browser all the time. I don't really understand your exact workflow, but I use Javascript with xlsx and React.

Looking at the xlsx documentation, to parse files in the browser, rather than readFile, you use read, which is designed to parse binary data directly, rather than read from disk. There are a bunch of different formats if you go to the XLSX NPM page and scroll down to "Acquiring and Extracting Data". Importantly, it seems the data must already be serialized, so a Blob won't work, but we can work with that.

Last year, Bing and Edge erroneously flagged our website https://sheetjs.com/ as "dangerous": https://i.imgur.com/BvA3zrk.png

At the time, there was no "Safety Report" to indicate why Bing thought it was dangerous. The report page linked to https://www.bing.com/toolbox/bing-site-safety?url=https%3a%2... and it said "That web page doesn't exist"

To fix it, we had to register with "Bing Webmaster Tools" (https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about) and raise a support ticket.

Within a few days, the issue "resolved itself". It's possible that raising a ticket forced some automatic refresh of the indexed data for the domain.

There are libraries like https://github.com/SheetJS/sheetjs to parse excel and https://www.chartjs.org/ for all kinds of charts/graphs. Not really much HTML involved here.. the markup gets generated by the chart library.

Nowadays there's Windows Subsystem for Linux. There's no excuse not to successfully run "Linux" scripts on Windows.

I've been running very complex build systems via https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform (disclaimer: author here) since 2016 on Linux, Mac and Windows without a problem.

This is exactly my experience which lead me to create https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform - with a consistent make interface https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform/tree/master/build.m...

PS: quite feature complete but not yet well marketed so to speak. I'm actually recording an asciinema session this week in order for a visitor to grasp quicker the mentioned benefits.
