📗 SheetJS Spreadsheet Data Toolkit -- New home https://git.sheetjs.com/SheetJS/sheetjs
SheetJS: a spreadsheet toolkit that moved its home
A spreadsheet library now hosted on its own git server, split between a free Apache 2.0 community edition and a Pro tier with templates, styling, and formula work.
Two editions, one toolkit
SheetJS is a spreadsheet data toolkit. The community edition extracts data from almost any complex spreadsheet and generates new spreadsheets that work with legacy and modern software alike, and the README calls that edition battle tested open source software. The Pro edition goes beyond data processing. Its list covers editing complex templates, styling, custom sheets with images, graphs, and pivot tables, evaluating formula expressions, porting calculations to web apps, and automating common spreadsheet tasks.
Why the repository moved
An important note at the top points to the new source repository URL on the project's own git server. The master branch of the GitHub repository still includes all commits through a named commit hash, but issues should now be raised at the new location, where users can register directly or sign in with a valid GitHub account. Documentation, scripts, and Node.js modules are available there as well. The community edition remains truly open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
License terms
The project carries the Apache-2.0 license. The README refers to the attached LICENSE file and notes that all rights not explicitly granted by the Apache 2.0 License are reserved by the original author. For anyone planning to build on top of the toolkit, that reservation clause is the sentence to read twice.
Hiring and homepage
A hiring note says SheetJS is looking for US based software developers. The homepage is sheetjs.com, and the repository description points to the new home at the project's own git server. Between the move notice and the hiring call, the README reads like a project in transition rather than a static library page.
Editorial conclusion
The README is mostly housekeeping: where the code lives, which edition does what, and a hiring call. The split between the free community edition and the Pro feature list is the part worth reading twice.
