MarkLogic Toolkit for Excel

The MarkLogic Toolkit for Excel^® allows you to quickly build applications with MarkLogic Server that extend the functionality of Microsoft Excel and leverage Office Open XML (OOXML), the native document format of Excel 2007.

With the Toolkit for Excel you can build a new class of applications to

• Search across your organization’s Excel files for worksheets, cells, formulas, etc.
• Create new Excel workbooks from existing XML documents
• Manipulate workbooks stored in your repository with a built-in XQuery library
• Enhance Excel documents with custom metadata

The Toolkit for Excel comes with an add-in that allows you to deploy web-based applications into Excel. This means you can use familiar web development techniques, such as HTML and JavaScript, to build powerful applications with MarkLogic Server that work in concert with Excel. Sample add-in applications included with the Toolkit provide quick-start templates for typical use cases, including search, reuse and custom metadata management. The Toolkit for Excel includes XQuery libraries for building server-based applications to assemble, manipulate, and deliver Office Open XML for Office 2007 and other XML-based workflows.
