You can also open csv files through the Roo::Spreadsheet class (useful if you accept both CSV and Excel types from a user file upload, for example).

```ruby
# Load a spreadsheet from a file path
# Roo figures out the right parser based on file extension
spreadsheet = Roo::Spreadsheet.open(csv_or_xlsx_file)

# Load a csv and auto-strip the BOM (byte order mark)
# csv files saved from MS Excel typically have the BOM marker at the beginning of the file
spreadsheet = Roo::Spreadsheet.open("mycsv.csv", { csv_options: { encoding: 'bom|utf-8' } })
```

## Upgrading from Roo 1.13.x
If you use ``.xls`` or Google spreadsheets, you will need to install ``roo-xls`` or ``roo-google`` to continue using that functionality.
