# ExcellentExport.js

JavaScript export to Excel or CSV

A quick JavaScript library to create export to Excel/CSV from HTML tables in the browser. No server required.

As part of the new version 3.0.0+, there is support for XLSX. The drawback is that the library is 600+ KB.

If you only need XLS or CSV, use 2.X.X versions.
