Yomu sounds like what you're looking for. However, it depends on Apache Tika. It's more or less a wrapper. This is a big lift though, so I don't think you'll find a native Ruby library for something like this.

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 Yomu and rubyXL you can also consider the following projects:

Docsplit - Break Apart Documents into Images, Text, Pages and PDFs

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.

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

Spreadsheet - The Ruby Spreadsheet by ywesee GmbH

write_xlsx - Rubygem for create excel xlsx file

docx - a ruby library/gem for interacting with .docx files

Creek - Ruby library for parsing large Excel files.
