title: Export data in excel using webapi
body: <p>We are developing web api from where excel will be downloaded with data. While searching on the net we found libraries like npoi, epplus, closedxml.</p>
  
  <p>Do we really need to use these libraries to work with excel or go with the standard approach?</p>
  
  <p>We are using asp.net core for web api development.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Basically our front end is in angular 5 from where we 
  are exposing the web api. In web api we have written logic to get data and after getting data we need to place in certain format/template provided(Cell, Column wise, sheet wise etc.). There are quite a number of rows which we need to export in excel.</p>
  
  <p>Also our database and apis are azure based.</p>
  
  <p>Any help on this appreciated !</p>
