Simple spreadsheet reader/writer supporting XLS (read-only), XLSX, XML and CSV files. The classes try not to load all the data at once so that fairly large files are supported using iterators.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```

    [2,"test","2010-11-10"]
]);
// you can also read from stream
foreach (\vakata\spreadsheet\Reader::fromFile('test.xlsx') as $k => $row) {
    var_dump($row);
}
// or
var_dump(\vakata\spreadsheet\Reader::fromFile('test.xlsx')->toArray());
