Apache POI VS Quarkus

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

First of all, extensions are developed and maintained by the Quarkus team. You can find them on the Quarkus GitHub repository. They integrate seamlessly into the Quarkus architecture as they can be processed at build time and be built in native mode with GraalVM. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
