Gotta say working with #openxml (#ooxml) is scary. The Open XML Sdk is so low level with no guard rails. Must understand all of the underlying XML to be able to do anything meaningful, so what’s the point? And all the libraries I’ve looked at doesn’t support what I want to do.
At this point, I’m taking a swing at processing the XML by hand with #beautifulsoup4. Seems to do the trick 😅

@praxis Well, I worked for about 10 years in the #MapForce Team of #Altova https://www.altova.com/mapforce and I simply loved to integrate various standards like #XBRL #OOXML (Excel) and the internal engine for executing mapping. Furthermore code generators for #CSharp , #Java, #Cpp and exotic stuff like #XSLT and even #XQuery.

In a #ComputerVision startup company (2000-2006) I played around with #ObjectDetection #Fingerprint and used #SupportVectorMachine which were modern in that years.
