Removed the `ReaderEntityFactory::createReader(Type)` method and replaced it by 3 methods:
- `ReaderEntityFactory::createCSVReader()`
- `ReaderEntityFactory::createXLSXReader()`
- `ReaderEntityFactory::createODSReader()`
This has the advantage of enabling autocomplete in the IDE, as the return type is no longer the interface but the concrete type. Since readers may expose different options, this is pretty useful.
Similarly, removed the `WriterEntityFactory::createWriter(Type)` method and replaced it by 3 methods:
- `WriterEntityFactory::createCSVWriter()`
- `WriterEntityFactory::createXLSXWriter()`
- `WriterEntityFactory::createODSWriter()`
Since this is a breaking change, I also updated the Upgrade guide.
Finally, the doc is up to date too.
* Add option to preserve empty rows when reading an XLSX file
* Add option to preserve empty rows when reading a CSV file
* Add option to preserve empty rows when reading an ODS file
When reading spreadsheets, Spout should be able to return formatted dates, as shown when opened with Excel for instance.
It currently only returns DateTime/DateInterval objects, making it impossible to read + write, as the Writer does not accept objects.
Spout can now read ODS files.
It's on par with the XLSX reader. The only difference is that the row iterator cannot be rewound.
It supports the different output formats from LibreOffice and Excel, skipping extra rows/cells if needed.
