- <question>
- What is the HSSF "eventmodel"?
- </question>
- <answer>
- <p>
- The HSSF eventmodel package is a new API for reading XLS files more efficiently. It does
- require more knowledge on the part of the user, but reduces memory consumption by more than
- tenfold. It is based on the AWT event model in combination with SAX. If you need read-only
- access to a given XLS file, this is the best way to do it.
