What is it?
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats
|
||||
based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java.
|
||||
|
||||
A common misconception is that POI writes Excel files. POI is the name
|
||||
of the project.
|
||||
POI contains several components, one of which, HSSF, writes Excel files.
|
||||
The following are components of the entire POI project.
|
||||
|
||||
POIFS
|
||||
-----
|
||||
The oldest and most stable part of the project.
|
||||
It is our port of the OLE 2 Compound Document Format to pure Java.
|
||||
It supports both read and write functionality.
|
||||
All of our components ultimately rely on it by definition.
|
||||
|
||||
HSSF
|
||||
-----
|
||||
It's our port of the Microsoft Excel 97(-2002) file format (BIFF8)
|
||||
to pure Java. It supports read and write capability.
|
||||
|
||||
HDF
|
||||
---
|
||||
It's our port of the Microsoft Word 97 file format to pure Java.
|
||||
It supports read and write capability.
|
||||
This component is in the early stages of design.
