Xlsx-handlebars: Process Excel templates with Handlebars 28x faster than Python

1•sail-sail•2h ago
I built xlsx-handlebars to solve the performance bottleneck of generating Excel reports from templates.

Key highlights: - Renders 100k rows in 2.12s (~47k rows/sec), 14-28x faster than Python's openpyxl - Written in Rust, runs everywhere: native, WASM, Node.js, Deno, browsers - Full Handlebars templating: variables, conditionals, loops, custom helpers - Smart XML merging handles Handlebars syntax split by Excel's internal tags - Zero dependencies for WASM builds

Excel-specific features: - Dynamic formulas with column/row helpers - Image insertion with auto-detection - Cell merging, hyperlinks, worksheet management - Number type enforcement for proper formatting

Built-in validation ensures input files are valid XLSX before processing.

Perfect for report generation, batch exports, and data-driven Excel workflows.
