FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

- Write new Excel files with multiple sheets.
- Save or download generated Excel files.
- Convert sheets to associative arrays (headers as keys).
Dependencies

- SimpleXLSXGen - lightweight generator for .xlsx files.

Special thanks to Sergey Shuchkin for creating and maintaining SimpleXLSX and SimpleXLSXGen, which make this project possible.
Both are stable, battle-tested libraries that handle the low-level complexity of the XLSX format.
FluentXLSX focuses on providing a clean, expressive, and fluent API over them.
