Building an automatic cloud-based solution using Vanilla JavaScript, specifically with XMLHttpRequest and the Fetch API, to manage spreadsheet metadata offers a streamlined and accessible approach to document enrichment in modern workflows. This solution is ideal for lightweight web applications, client-side integrations, and environments where metadata accuracy and visibility are essential. By leveraging native JavaScript capabilities, developers can create a responsive, browser-compatible system that reads and updates metadata in real time-without relying on external libraries or server-heavy logic. Supported formats include .xlsx, .xls, .csv, .tsv, .numbers, and more.
In essence, this Vanilla JavaScript solution provides a nimble, cloud-compatible method for automating spreadsheet metadata editing. It empowers developers to build fast, secure, and scalable workflows using only native browser technologies. Whether embedded in a web portal, integrated into a SaaS platform, or used as a standalone tool, this system ensures that spreadsheet files are enriched with meaningful metadata-ready for search, compliance, and collaboration.
Lightweight execution: Use Vanilla JavaScript with XMLHttpRequest or Fetch API to send spreadsheet files directly to our cloud API for metadata editing. No SDKs, wrappers, or GUIs-just enriched files with a few lines of code. Ideal for automation, scripting, and browser-based tools.
Metadata flexibility: Add or update fields such as Author, Title, Subject, Description, Keywords, and custom tags. Maintain clarity and control over document properties across formats.
