+Orcus is a library that provides a collection of standalone file
+processing filters. It is currently focused on providing filters
+for spreadsheet documents, but filters for other productivity
+application types (such as wordprocessor and presentation) are
+in consideration.
+
+The library currently includes the following import filters:
+
+ Microsoft Excel 2007 XML
+ Microsoft Excel 2003 XML
+ Open Document Spreadsheet
+ Plain Text
+ Gnumeric XML
+ Generic XML
+
+The library also includes low-level parsers for the following:
+
+ CSV
+ CSS
+ XML
+ JSON
+
+These parsers are all implemented as C++ templates and require a
+handler class passed as a template argument so that the handler class
+receives various callbacks from the parser as the file is being parsed.
