Hey everyone! I'm working on a small project and I'm looking for a simple way to read data from an Excel file using JavaScript. I'd prefer something that's easy for beginners, works directly in the browser, and doesn't require a ton of setup. Thanks for your help!

Another option is the SheetJS library, but if you're comfortable with JSON-like structures, you might want to try APIfromExcel. It’s a tool I made for a friend and it could be really helpful. You can find it [here](https://rapidapi.com/ahmedbagh1997/api/api-from-excel).
You should definitely check out the SheetJS library! It's really popular for reading Excel files and works well both in the front end and back end. I’ve had great success using it with Angular, too. Their documentation is super helpful. Here’s the link to the docs: https://docs.sheetjs.com/
Ok, thanks. This is exactly what I needed!
Are you set on using JavaScript? Depending on your project, some other languages might be more straightforward for this kind of task. But if you’re using JavaScript on the client side, you're good to go!
Yes, I need to do it client-side.
Someone mentioned that one too, thanks!
