  The question is - does ExcelIO support XLS? It works with XLSX files. This is the code we are using:

  
              var excelIO = new GC.Spread.Excel.IO();
              function loadSpread(json) {
                $timeout(function(){
                  scope.element.spread.fromJSON(json);
                  scope.element.spread.refresh();
                });
              }        
              excelIO.open(blob, loadSpread, function (message) {
                console.log(message);
              });

  Hello,

  Unfortunately, SpreadJS Designer uses client side ExcelIO and don’t support biff file.

  Thanks,

  Thanks, Reeva!
  
  Are you planning to add a support for XLS in the future?

  Hello Jonathan,

  Sorry, till now, we have no plan to support xls (biff format) excel file.

  We regret the inconvenience.
