title: Parsing Excel file without Apache POI
body: <p>I know that we can use Apache POI to parse an Excel file and get data. But I heard of a strange thing that excel file can be passed in a similar way we parse CSV (Like just read the file from file Stream and separate each column value with a "comma" separator). When we parse Excel we have to use tab as a delimiter. Is it possible? If yes then why Apache has come up with such a complicated framework. I am puzzled. Can someone help me?</p>
