MNB PHPExcel Mono Library
Use the monolithic MNB PHPExcel package and switch to focused documentation when your project installs an individual library.
Updated
What you will learn
- Install the monolithic package when one application needs multiple spreadsheet formats or workflows.
- Use MnbExcel as the primary facade for mono-library applications.
- Switch to an individual-library guide when the project installs a focused Composer package.
This Developer Guide has separate documentation tracks for the monolithic MNB PHPExcel package and each individual library. The selected track controls the package name, repository link, installation command, navigation, and API examples.
Mono library
Choose this track when your project installs the complete distribution and uses the MnbExcel facade across multiple formats and workflows.
composer require mnb/mnb-phpexcel:^2.0| Item | Mono-library documentation |
|---|---|
| Composer package | mnb/mnb-phpexcel |
| Primary API | Mnb\PHPExcel\MnbExcel |
| Includes | XLSX, XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, ODS, database workflows, large-file services, and application-level helpers. |
| Best fit | Applications using several formats or wanting one facade and one dependency. |
Individual libraries
Choose one of these tracks when the project installs a focused package. These pages use the package-local facade such as Xlsx, Xls, Json, or Csv rather than the monolithic MnbExcel facade.
