flask excel html,Flask-Excel

Flask-Excel is based on pyexcel and makes

it easy to consume/produce information stored in excel files over HTTP protocol as

well as on file system. This library can turn the excel data into a list of lists,

a list of records(dictionaries), dictionaries of lists. And vice versa. Hence it

lets you focus on data in Flask based web development, instead of file formats.

The idea originated from the problem of the illiteracy of excel file formats of

non-technical office workers: such as office assistant, human resource administrator.

There is nothing with the un-deniable fact that some people do not know the

difference among various excel formats. It becomes usability problem to those

people when a web service cannot parse the excel file that they saved using

Microsoft Excel. Instead of training those people about file formats, this library

helps web developers to handle most of the excel file formats by unifying the

programming interface to most of the excel readers and writers.

The highlighted features are:

turn uploaded excel file directly into Python data struture

pass Python data structures as an excel file download

provide data persistence as an excel file in server side

supports csv, tsv, csvz, tsvz by default and other formats are supported via the following plugins:
