------------------------------------
Note that the class had a single debug line referring to an ExcelUtils class
that I don't have. For now I just commented that line out.
> 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
> Attachments: ExcelEventParser.java
>
>
> 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.
