Yes, WorkbookFactory will support both file formats. If you take a lok at
this page - https://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/converting.html - and then
scroll down to the section entitled "New, generic SS Usermodel Code" you

As long as you stick to the Workbook, Sheet, Row, Cell interfaces (in
contrast to XSSFWorkbook/HSSFWorkbook and related implementations),
