There is another library, rubyXL that I've been interested to try. It purports to read Excel files, but can save changes, making it a roundtrip capable library. This is something we can't currently do with our separate axlsx/roo workflow. We treat the Excel files as a kind of serializer input/output. The data all lives within our app.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Spreadsheet and rubyXL you can also consider the following projects:

Roo - Roo provides an interface to spreadsheets of several sorts.

AXLSX - xlsx generation with charts, images, automated column width, customizable styles and full schema validation. Axlsx excels at helping you generate beautiful Office Open XML Spreadsheet documents without having to understand the entire ECMA specification. Check out the README for some examples of how easy it is. Best of all, you can validate your xlsx file before serialization so you know for sure that anything generated is going to load on your client's machine.
