About

Spout is a PHP library to read and write spreadsheet files (CSV, XLSX and ODS), in a fast and scalable way.
Unlike other file readers or writers, it is capable of processing very large files, while keeping the memory usage really low (less than 3MB).

Documentation

Full documentation can be found at https://opensource.box.com/spout/.

Requirements

  • PHP version 7.2 or higher
  • PHP extension php_zip enabled
  • PHP extension php_xmlreader enabled

Upgrade guide

Version 3 introduced new functionality but also some breaking changes. If you want to upgrade your Spout codebase from version 2 please consult the Upgrade guide.

Running tests

The master branch includes unit, functional and performance tests.
If you just want to check that everything is working as expected, executing the unit and functional tests is enough.

  • phpunit - runs unit and functional tests
  • phpunit --group perf-tests - only runs the performance tests

For information, the performance tests take about 10 minutes to run (processing 1 million rows files is not a quick thing).

Support

Spout is no longer actively supported. You can still ask questions, or discuss about it in the chat room:
