轻巧的Java XLSX阅读器

Question

Apache POI does solve this but the total size of all the transitive dependencies of apache poi is close to 13MB.

• poi-ooxml-schemas-3.17.jar (6MB)
• xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar (3MB)
• poi-3.17.jar (3MB)
• poi-ooxml-3.17.jar (1.5MB)

So far I could find questions about writing to xlsx without apache poi and libraries which are not maintained. Any pointers would be very helpful.

Answer 1

Thanks to Axel Richter's great answer , I modified it into a Utility class. This so far is working very well for me and could help anyone who is looking just to read a simple XLSX file (without any complicated stuff in it).
