Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend(3pm)

Overview

Excel::ValueReader::XLSX has two possible implementation backends for parsing "XLSX" files : Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::Regex, based on regular expressions, or Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::LibXML, based on the libxml2 library. Both backends share some common features, so the present class implements those common features. This is about internal implementation; it should be of no interest to external users of the module.

Attributes

A backend instance possesses the following attributes :

frontend: a weak reference to the frontend instance

zip: an Archive::Zip instance for accessing the contents of the "xlsx" file

date_styles: an array of numeric styles for presenting dates and times. Styles are either Excel's builtin styles, or custom styles defined in the workbook.

strings: an array of all shared strings within the workbook

workbook_data: some metadata information about the workbook

Abstract methods

Not defined in this abstract class, but implemented in subclasses.

values: Inspects all cells within the XSLX files and returns a bi-dimensional array of values.
