EasyExcel is a Java library focused on reading and writing Excel files with very low memory usage, making it suitable for large datasets that overwhelm traditional APIs. It uses streaming/event-driven parsing to avoid loading entire workbooks into memory, and it maps rows to Java objects via simple annotations. Writers support multiple sheets, custom styles, merged cells, and template-based filling so production reports remain maintainable. The API emphasizes developer ergonomics: callbacks are straightforward, converters handle common type transformations, and header/column mapping is explicit. It integrates cleanly into Spring/enterprise stacks, often as part of import/export pipelines or scheduled report generation. By optimizing both performance and ease of use, EasyExcel reduces operational risk around big Excel jobs in web services and back-office tools.
