## 项目历史与用法

ExcelCompare is a Java command-line tool and API-oriented project for diffing Excel and OpenDocument spreadsheets.

### 项目历史

The GitHub repository was created on 2012-06-30, and release 0.3 was published on 2013-12-13. The README describes it as a CLI for diffing Excel and ODS workbooks, built on Apache POI and OdfToolkit.

### 采用历史

ExcelCompare found a practical niche among developers who need spreadsheet diffs in shells, scripts, and version-control workflows. The README explicitly documents macOS installation via Homebrew and notes packaged shell and batch scripts.

The project has remained recognizable enough for Homebrew packaging and GitHub issue-based maintenance, even though the core use case is narrow.

### 使用方式

The excel_cmp command compares two workbook files and exits 0 when workbooks match or 1 when they differ. It reports differing and extra cells, supports xls, xlsx, xlsm, and ods files, and can ignore sheets, rows, columns, or cell ranges independently for each input.

The README also documents unified-diff output and using /dev/null or Windows NUL as an empty file, which makes the tool suitable for git diff-style workflows over spreadsheets.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

ExcelCompare packages a messy office-document problem into a scriptable Unix-style CLI with deterministic exit codes. That makes it useful in CI and review workflows where binary spreadsheet files otherwise resist normal diff tools.

### 时间线

- 2012: GitHub repository created.
- 2013: Release 0.3 published.
- Later README versions: Homebrew installation, ODS support, ignore rules, and unified-diff output documented.

### Related projects

- The README cites Apache POI for Excel parsing and OdfToolkit for OpenDocument spreadsheet parsing.
