Recently I’ve released an ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) converter. It’s available from GitHub:
The current version (0.1) is not perfect, I’ve documented some issues, mainly related to empty fields/records being output. After releasing version 0.1 I created some unit tests; once they pass, these issues should be resolved.
During development, it turned out it’s really easy to parse an ODS file, since it’s just a ZIP file with the contents contained in simple XML file inside it.
The converter uses SAX to parse the XML inside it, to minimize memory usage. It comes with a Java library, a command line program and an Apache Ant task. And there are no external dependencies other than a Java runtime environment (version 1.5 or up).
