Using Javascript, specifically Google Apps Script (GAS), I need to convert an .xls file to JSON; but I would settle for .csv or .xml.

Does anyone know any way to do this? Some library, perhaps? Or a private script willing to share? (Note: GAS can not recognize ActiveXObject)

Prior research (does not apply)

This question does not apply because I am asking for a solution coded in Javascript (or a workaround for Google Apps Script). (The answers to the above question focus on a Java solution and other various .csv to JSON converters.)

Yes, I know there is an open issue for GAS already in the works. But I was wondering if anyone has coded any .js workaround to do the job in the meantime?

Isn't xls a proprietary Microsoft format? – crush yesterday
No, wait. That other question does not do. The critical difference is that .01%. I am asking for a solution coded in Javascript (or a workaround for Google Apps Script).
