Excel:...:LibXML(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::LibXML — bestie, this is the backend that pulls values out of your Excel workbooks using LibXML 💖

(Yeah the manual page header calls it Excel:...:LibXML(3pm) and it lives in the perl docs, but the real name is the whole long thing above, periodt.)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so. This module is one of two backend modules for Excel::ValueReader::XLSX. The other one — the other half of the duo, the other sibling, the alternate universe version — is Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::Regex. Pick your fighter 💅

This particular backend does its thing by parsing OOXML structures with XML::LibXML::Reader. That's the whole vibe. It reads the XML, it gets the values, it slays 🦋
