Example

This example shows a XML document generated by a simple excel (without cols and rows grouping). Give an xml with the following structure:


ID1ID2ID3ID4ID5ID6ID7
23232322323333123
24244442323332123

excelreader-call generate the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workbook>
    <sheet number="0">
        <name><![CDATA[Foglio1]]></name>
        <row number="0">

                <data><![CDATA[qOffset2sn]]></data>
            </col>
        </row>
        <row number="1">
            <col number="0">
                <data><![CDATA[23]]></data>
            </col>

                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="5">
                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="6">
                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
        </row>
        <row number="2">
            <col number="0">
                <data><![CDATA[23]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="1">
                <data><![CDATA[711]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="2">
                <data><![CDATA[23]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="3">
                <data><![CDATA[23232]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="4">
                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="5">
                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
            <col number="6">
                <data><![CDATA[1]]></data>
            </col>
        </row>
    </sheet>
