Intro

This directory contains some example of Calamine usage.

Examples

• simple_read.rs: This is a minimal "hello world" example that demonstrates how to open a workbook and read some information from it using the calamine crate.
• excel_to_csv.rs: An example for using the calamine crate to convert an Excel file to CSV.
• search_errors.rs: Recursively searches a directory for Excel files and checks them for errors.

Serialization examples

• deserialize_range.rs: This example demonstrates the simplest way to deserialize a spreadsheet row. An anonymous tuple is read one row at a time using [Range::deserialize].
• deserialize_struct.rs: Shows how to deserialize rows into named structs with header-based column matching.
• deserialize_fallible.rs: Handles cells that may be empty or contain unexpected types during deserialization.
• deserialize_flatten.rs: Uses #[serde(flatten)] to capture unknown columns in a HashMap.
• deserialize_no_headers.rs: An example of positional deserialization without assuming a header row.
• deserialize_seed.rs: Demonstrates stateful deserialization using [RowDeserializer] and [DeserializeSeed] for cases where column names are only known at runtime or deserialization depends on runtime context.
