Apache POI VS Guava

Recently I needed to write an Azure Function app that uses the Apache POI library for getting the text from Microsoft Word 94 documents (and yes, I am fully aware that the year is currently 2024, but some people still have 30 year old documents kicking around!). - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

I need to add the apache poi to my project (I need hssf, ss and xssf). I downloaded a jar file from the internet but it does not contain xssf. I went to http://poi.apache.org/ and I downloaded this: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/release/src/poi-src-3.9-20121203.zip, I extract it..and got stucked. I tried Part 1 but that was only for JavaDoc. Source: about 1 year ago

- Using Ports to call CLIs that take care of this (e.g. Poppler for PDFs, Libreoffice in `--headless` mode) - Use jInterface to startup a JVM with Apache POI to work on this specific workflow (I have an example here to work with Java Image API). You can also do this with other languages (Golang , Python and other). Source: over 1 year ago

If you can use third party libraries, you can look at Apache POI (https://poi.apache.org/). It allows you to read, write and manipulate Excel and CSV files. Source: over 1 year ago

Java may be boring to work with, but its power, maturity and ecosystem is unparalleled. I don't remember the PDF library (there are many), but Office stuff used Apache POI. Source: over 1 year ago

As a racist against Java Regex, I can't help wanting to try it out without regex (using Guava and Mug, my all-in-one toolbox). - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago

The first problem is at the level of Type System, given that a situation more correct would allow us to distinguish through the Collection Type which abstraction we are operating with, species if definable as mutable or immutable. The JCF was born at a time when great care was taken to offer immediate operational data structures, and with attention to performance, but with less attention to constructs or uses... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

I mean, I guess, technically? If you define it like that, then Microsoft has people working for them for free, as does Google, as does Apple, etc. It's not that weird, and you can try to twist it to be weird, but those of us in the software industry largely regard this as a good thing.

Ok, so let's implement our lazy initialization more smartly to avoid acquiring the lock every time and use old fashion but still working double-checked locking. I've found it implemented by Suppliers.memoize in guava library. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
