#39 Golang - Handling Excel in Go Web Applications | Uploading and Downloading Excel Files

In this episode, we will learn how to upload and download Excel files in a Golang web application. Building on our last episode where we handled CSV files, we will implement similar functionality for Excel files using the powerful Excelize package.

What you'll learn:
- Installing and using the Excelize package in Golang
- Creating a new Excel file and adding data to it
- Writing data from a database to an Excel file
- Setting response headers for file downloads
- Handling Excel file uploads and parsing data
- Saving uploaded data to a database

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional Golang web application capable of uploading and downloading Excel files. Excelize offers a range of functionalities for manipulating Excel files, including creating charts and handling cell styles, making it an excellent choice for your projects.
