Spout VS composer-normalize

We were testing PHP Spreadsheet and Spout (https://github.com/box/spout). We chose Spout because of its low memory footprint. It is using streams so it is much lighter than PHP Spreadsheet, although it is missing quite a bit of features that PHP Spreadsheet has.

The Simple Excel package uses the box/spout package under the hood. In the readme it states that you can get to the underlying writer using ->getWriter().

box/spout: Read and write spreadsheet files (CSV, XLSX and ODS), in a fast and scalable way

If you don't have a lot of formatting requirements beyond just the placement of the data in the correct fields, I really enjoy Box/Spout (https://opensource.box.com/spout/), and they have a way to install it without composer.

I've also had good experiences with https://github.com/box/spout

to add to this, this library is really good when wanting to parse CSV files https://github.com/box/spout

The README itself shows that it’s being used to keep track of Chinese Starbucks stores, download JSON schema updates periodically and even by the Node project itself to keep the license file up to date.
