What is the difference between ss user model and HSSF & XSSF

[knagap <k....@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
We have a requirement to change the existing POI(3.2) to the latest. In the
existing model, HSSF user model is being used. I have done bit of
investigation on the upgrading part and found that it can be done using XSSF
directly or use an "ss" user model instead.

But what i couldn't understand is the difference between all three. Can
somebody explain when to use hssf, xssf and ss models.

Thank you.

SS is common for both .xls and .xlsx files. If you only want to target one 
format, you can instead just pick the appropriate of XSSF and HSSF
