Please, help...

I want to use D (Vibe.d) to create a web client to access the database of medical institutions. Tell me, please, what about the reports (report generator)? I need to upload reports in DOC and XLS.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Sergey

I'm afraid I don't believe there to be any libraries for dealing
with those formats.
But via a quick google search I did find a (paid) library that
you could easily bind to via extern(C) [0].
I also found another library [1] for word documents and
supposedly excel.

I don't know what the quality is for either. Also if you want to
do a shared library binding instead of static you may want to
check out derelict-util.

There is also using COM directly, which I've used previously. It's quite
tedious, but it works.
For D1 there's also Juno: http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno
Not sure if someone has updated it for D2.

It has been according to its description [0].
But it looks like it hasn't been updated in over a year.
Also Windows only, which may not be what Sergey is wanting.

need a library for Linux

I found this http://xlslib.sourceforge.net/. Also, it hasn't been updated in over about two and a half years.

Well in worse case scenario [0] its not like its not
implementable from scratch :)
Although I'd say have a go with the libs I gave you originally.
They are probably the most likely to be usable.

Think I'll try the libraries, which you suggested.
