Are there any specific considerations to keep in mind when transitioning from PHPExcel to PHPSpreadsheet?

When transitioning from PHPExcel to PHPSpreadsheet, one specific consideration to keep in mind is that PHPSpreadsheet uses namespaces, so you will need to update your code to reflect this change. This means updating any references to classes or functions from PHPExcel to PHPSpreadsheet in your codebase. 

// Before transitioning from PHPExcel to PHPSpreadsheet
require 'PHPExcel/PHPExcel.php';

$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();

// After transitioning to PHPSpreadsheet
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;

$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
