SingleXLSX wraps rubyXL to read and write single-sheet XLSX files like ruby's standard CSV library.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'single_xlsx'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install single_xlsx

You can read XLSX files into Array of Array.

require "single_xlsx"

SingleXLSX.read("path/to/xlsx")
#=> [
      ["Name", "Age"],
      ["Einstein", 76],
      ["Feynman", 69]
    ]

You can write XLSX data into String.

require "single_xlsx"

binary = SingleXLSX.generate do |sheet|
  sheet << ["Name", "Age"]
  sheet << ["Einstein", 76]
  sheet << ["Feynman", 69]
end

or into a file.

require "single_xlsx"

SingleXLSX.open("path/to/xlsx") do |sheet|
  sheet << ["Name", "Age"]
  sheet << ["Einstein", 76]
  sheet << ["Feynman", 69]
end
