Excel parser implementation based on POI's Event API
----------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-105
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-105
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: parser
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
Priority: Minor
Tika's existing ExcelParser implementation uses POI's HSSFWorkbook to extract
text from an Excel file. POI also provides an alternative "Event API"[1] for
processing Excel files - the advantage being that it has a much smaller memory
footprint, but at the cost of a slightly more complex API.
I have written an alternative excel parser implementation based on the Event
API - if its of interest to the Tika project I'll write a test case for it.
