Spout is a PHP library to read and write spreadsheet files (CSV, XLSX and ODS), in a fast and scalable way. Unlike other file readers or writers, it is capable of processing very large files, while keeping the memory usage really low (less than 3MB).
This library is a fork of Box's Spout library where development has stopped. Its development is focused on performance and safety (prefer less feature to more bugs).
Full documentation can be found at https://opensource.box.com/spout/.

Version 3 introduced new functionality but also some breaking changes. If you want to upgrade your Spout codebase from version 2 please consult the Upgrade guide.
The master branch includes unit, functional and performance tests.
If you just want to check that everything is working as expected, executing the unit and functional tests is enough.
