Thank you for the research. > Having said all that I am in favor of providing the csv/tsv option and additionally the .xlsx option by using **fastexcel**. Old .xls format was coming for free when using POI and code-wise it was pretty similar to .xlsx, so it made sense to export in that too. Now that we are talking about using two different libraries I think we can skip .xls support because the format is too old, the produced files are larger than .xlsx in general and I don't think adding it adds any actual value. I think useing fastexcel is a sensible approach. If I'm not mistaken the footprint will shrink to ~100kB. (opczip + fastexcel). That sounds good to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
