Adoption guide
Business reporting and spreadsheet workflows where productivity and readable code are primary goals.
Why it appears in the guide: Developer-friendly API over Open XML focused on Excel workbook generation and editing. Trade-off: Advanced or niche spreadsheet features may still require direct Open XML workarounds.
Compatibility metadata lists 3 target frameworks; confirm the exact target used by your application.
How to read this guidance
Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.
