XLSBeans

XLSBeans is a Java library for mapping Excel sheets to POJO.

Setup

To use XLSBeans, add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.takezoe</groupId>
    <artifactId>xlsbeans</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.7</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Getting Started

For example, here is one Excel sheet.

Map this Excel sheet to POJO using @HorizontalRecords and @LabelledCell.

@Sheet(name="Users")
public class UserList {

  @LabelledCell(label="Title", type=LabelledCellType.Right)
  public String title;

  @HorizontalRecords(tableLabel="User list", recordClass=User.class)
  public List<User> users;

}

And the following is the record class. Properties of the record class is mapped to columns by @Column.

public class User {

  @Column(columnName="ID")
  public int id;

  @Column(columnName="Name")
  public String name;

  @Column(columnName="Gender", merged=true)
  public String gender;

}

You can get the mapped POJO using XLSBeans#load() like following:

UserList userList = (UserList)new XLSBeans().load(
  new FileInputStream("example.xls"), UserList.class);
