Although Excel has a Date type, older Excel versions use numeric values to store dates.
The value represents the number of days since Jan 1st, 1900.
The only way to tell if the value is a number or a date is to look at the styles.xml and check if the cell has date formatting.
Instead of the hasNext() / next() syntax, readers now implements the PHP iterator pattern.
It allows readers to be used with a foreach() loop.
All readers now share the same structure (CSV is treated as having exactly one sheet):
- one concrete Reader
- one SheetIterator, exposed by the Reader
- one or more Sheets, returned at every iteration
- one RowIterator, exposed by the Sheet
Introducing the concept of sheets for CSV may be kind of confusing but it makes Spout way more consistent.
Also, this confusion may be resolved by creating a wrapper around the readers if needed.
