How Does Excel to JSON Conversion Work?

Each worksheet contains rows and columns. With first-row headers enabled, column headings become JSON keys and subsequent rows become records. Otherwise, rows are exported as arrays. Empty cells become null.

Numbers and booleans retain their value types where possible. Supported Excel date-formatted cells are converted to ISO-like date strings. Formulas are not recalculated: their last stored result is used.
