JXLS is an ObjC++ wrapper and framework for xlslib. xlslib is a C++/C library to construct Microsoft Excel™ .xls files in code.

This Framework is based on the xlslib open source project and includes it as a git submodule.

To configure this project, you should

git submodule update --init --recursive

after cloning from within your JXLS git repo.

The xlconfig.h file was produced by doing a "./bootstrap" inside the root xlslib folder - you can replace it with the same if you wish. This library has only been tested on 64-bit Intel as it uses ARC.

There is an Xcode project for building on iOS, but it is not actively maintained. If it doesn’t just work please fix and send a pull request!

Updating

If you have been using JXLS versions before 1.0, you will have to change your imports to the umbrella header used in 1.0+:

#import <JXLS/JXLS.h>

Usage

You can integrate JXLS into your project via CocoaPods or manually as described below.

Add “JXLS.xcodeproj” to your project (preferably into “Frameworks” to keep things tidy).

Xcode 4

In your target’s “Build Phases”:

• Add Build Phase (+-button pull-down menu) > Copy Files
• Destination: Frameworks
• Change name to “Copy Frameworks” to keep things clean

Xcode 5 or 6

In your target’s “Build Phases”:

• Editor (menu) > Add Build Phase > Add Copy Files Build Phase
• Destination: Frameworks
• Change name to “Copy Frameworks” to keep things clean

Both

Add “JXLS.framework” to the following build phases (via the +-buttons):

• “Target Dependencies”
• “Link Binary With Libraries”
• “Copy Frameworks” (created above)

And finally import the header in your code:

#import <JXLS/JXLS.h>
