jsonkenl/xlsxir

Xlsxir is an Elixir library designed for parsing Excel (.xlsx) files with a focus on memory efficiency and performance. It utilizes SAX-based streaming to process large workbooks without loading them entirely into memory, offering APIs for row streaming and peeking. The system manages its internal state via OTP supervisors and ETS tables, supporting complex features like shared strings, styles, and multiple worksheets.

The application's configuration file has been updated to use the modern \import Config\ syntax, replacing the deprecated \use Mix.Config\. This change aligns the project with current Elixir standards and removes legacy configuration patterns, ensuring that configuration loading behaves according to the latest runtime expectations.

The library has switched from loading entire XML files into memory (using SweetXml) to a SAX-based event-driven parser (using Erlsom). This change allows Xlsxir to process large Excel files with significantly lower memory usage and better performance, as XML content is parsed in chunks. The new architecture introduces dedicated modules for parsing shared strings, styles, workbooks, and worksheets, storing intermediate results in ETS tables. Users benefit from robust handling of missing styles or shared strings files, support for parsing inline strings, and the ability to stream worksheet rows without loading the entire file into memory.

The Xlsxir library is now an OTP application that automatically starts a StateManager supervisor, ensuring proper lifecycle management for ETS tables. The main API has been refactored to delegate parsing to the XlsxFile module, introducing a new \stream\_list/3\ function for memory-efficient row streaming (extracting XML to files by default) and a \peek/4\ function to extract only the first N rows. Existing extraction functions like \extract/3\ and \multi\_extract/3\ remain available but now support options to control extraction targets (memory vs. file) and row limits.

Added comprehensive test coverage for Xlsxir parsing capabilities; Added test fixtures for Excel workbooks with multiple sheets and styles; Added test fixtures for complex strings and invalid files.

Xlsxir now requires Elixir 1.9 (up from 1.2) and replaces the sweet\_xml dependency with Erlsom (\~\> 1.5) for XML parsing. The project also adds ExDoc for documentation generation and updates its Hex package metadata, including a new description, license, and maintainer information.

The generated HTML documentation has been rebuilt and updated to reflect the Xlsxir v1.6.3 release. This update includes refreshed reference pages for core modules such as \Xlsxir.ConvertDate\, \Xlsxir.ConvertDateTime\, \Xlsxir.ParseString\, \Xlsxir.ParseStyle\, \Xlsxir.ParseWorkbook\, \Xlsxir.ParseWorksheet\, \Xlsxir.SaxParser\, and \Xlsxir.StateManager\, ensuring that function signatures, parameters, and examples are current with the latest codebase.
