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.
