Motivation

Summary

Develop a command-line interface tool for Apache Fesod to enable spreadsheet processing without writing code, supporting format conversion, data extraction, and batch operations.

Motivation

Users need a CLI tool to:

  • Convert spreadsheet formats quickly (xlsx ↔ xls ↔ csv ↔ ods)
  • Extract data to JSON/CSV for pipelines
  • Process files in shell scripts and CI/CD
  • Use Fesod without Java programming

Proposed Commands

# Read and output as JSON
fesod read data. xlsx --format json --sheet 0

# Convert formats
fesod convert input.xls output.xlsx

# Write from JSON/CSV
fesod write data. json output.xlsx --input-format json

# Show file info
fesod info data. xlsx

Key Options

  • --format <json|csv|xml>: Output format
  • --sheet <name|index>: Specify sheet
  • --output : Output file path
  • --config : Use config file

Technical Approach

Stack

  • CLI Framework: picocli
  • Build: Maven assembly plugin for executable JAR
  • Java: 8+ compatible
