We started in late 2012 with the key observation that web browsers were powerful enough to securely process files without exposing confidential data. Today, the main SheetJS open source project is one of the most popular libraries in the world, embedded in Google Cloud Platform tools, Salesforce Cloud, Tableau, Office 365, Oracle Data Services and other platforms. Governments and scientists across the world trust SheetJS software to analyze key data sets and make important policy decisions.
Our impact on the JavaScript and data communities extends beyond spreadsheets. In building the JS data stack, we open-sourced innovative solutions to related problems including compression, checksums and numerical approximation. Our focus on performance and accuracy yielded high-quality implementations that found its way into high-impact open source projects including the React JS framework.
The SheetJS ecosystem is large and diverse. There are many challenging and deep problems that will excite programmers and computer scientists alike.
