Not at all, not at all!

However, as I am working with LibreOffice, presumably somewhere in the underpinnings of LibreOffice there is a parser which can convert back and forth between XLS and XML!

As LibreOffice (and Apache Open Office) is OSS I assume one could use these parsers [although, if one is going to use them in a commercial development one would end up with a mixed licence] without
having to pay royalties.

Have a look at this:
