Easiest way to compare two Excel files in Java?

Question

I\'m writing a JUnit test for some code that produces an Excel file (which is binary). I have another Excel file that contains my expected output. What\'s the easiest way to com

Answer 1

The easiest way I find is to use Tika. I use it like this:

private void compareXlsx(File expected, File result) throws IOException, TikaException {
     Tika tika = new Tika();
     String expectedText = tika.parseToString(expected);
     String resultText = tika.parseToString(result);
     assertEquals(expectedText, resultText);
}
