In this video, We are going to learn How to Read Excel File in Selenium with Apache POI

The Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML).

To read or write an Excel, Apache provides a very famous library POI. This library is capable enough to read and write both XLS and XLSX file format of Excel.

🔥 To read XLS files, an HSSF implementation is provided by POI library. 🔥

To read XLSX, XSSF implementation of POI library will be the choice. Let's study these implementations in detail.
