Hi,

  1. PicoXLSX is a Writer-Only, NanoXLSX can read and write Excel worksheets. Both libraries share the same logical core
  2. NanoXLSX, if you want to read and write, or PicoXLSX if you just want to write with the least possible dependencies and overhead. If you don't mind: NanoXLSX
  3. PicoXLSX is a subset of NanoXLSX. In a future version, PicoXLSX will become a meta-package with just writer abilities (for compatibility), and NanoXLSX will become a meta-package with all features. Archiving PicoXLSX is at the moment not planned, since both libraries are with each >100K downloads similarly popular on Nuget.org
