Convert JSON Format to PPTM in Android
Parse JSON format to PPTM in Android Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert JSON to PPTM?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is used to exchange data between different applications. It is a text-based format that is easy to read and write. On the other hand, PPTM (PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation) is a file format used to store presentations created with Microsoft PowerPoint. It is a binary file format that supports macros and other features. Therefore, it is necessary to convert JSON to PPTM in order to use the data in a presentation.
How Aspose.Total helps for JSON to PPTM Conversion?
Aspose.Total for Android via Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, convert, and render documents in various formats. It includes Aspose.Cells for Android via Java and Aspose.Slides for Android via Java APIs. By using Aspose.Cells for Android via Java, you can parse JSON to PPTX. After that, by using Aspose.Slides for Android via Java, you can convert PPTX to PPTM. This two-step process makes it easy to convert JSON to PPTM in Android applications.
Convert JSON Format to PPTM in Android
- Create a new Workbook object and open JSON file
- Save JSON as PPTX using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to PPTM format using save method
Get Started with Android via Java APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install libraries in your app.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
Set Layout and Convert JSON Format to PPTM in Android Applications
Furthermore, the API allows you to parse JSON to PPTM with specified layout options. In order to specify the layout options, you can use JsonLayoutOptions class. It allows you to process an array as a table, ignore nulls, ignore array title, ignore object title, convert string to number or date, set date and number format, and set title style. All of these options allow you to present your data as per your needs. The following code snippet shows you how to set the layout options.
Convert JSON Format to PPTM with Watermark in Android Apps
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PPTM with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PPTM document, you can first parse JSON to PPTX and add a watermark to it. In order to add a watermark, load the newly created PPTX file using the Presentation class, loop through all slides, add text using addTextFrame, set all the relevant options like color, fillType and more and can save the document to PPTM.

What is JSON File Format?
The JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file format is a lightweight and widely used data interchange format. It was derived from the JavaScript programming language but is now language-independent and supported by various programming languages. JSON files store data in a structured and readable format, making them easy to understand and process by both humans and machines.
JSON files consist of key-value pairs organized in a hierarchical structure. They represent data in a simple and intuitive way using objects (enclosed in curly braces {}) and arrays (enclosed in square brackets []). Each key is paired with a corresponding value, which can be a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array. This flexibility allows JSON to handle complex and nested data structures.
One of the main advantages of JSON is its simplicity and ease of use. Its lightweight nature and minimal syntax make it efficient for data transmission over networks and storage in files. JSON files are commonly used for data exchange between web servers and clients, as well as for configuration files, APIs, and storing structured data.
JSON files are human-readable and can be easily understood and modified using a text editor. They are also machine-readable, allowing applications to parse and process JSON data efficiently. Many programming languages provide built-in libraries or packages for working with JSON, simplifying the parsing and serialization of JSON data.
What is PPTM File Format?
The PPTM file format is a file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint to save presentations that contain macros. It is an extension of the PPTX file format, which is the default file format for PowerPoint presentations. The “M” in PPTM stands for “macro-enabled” indicating that the file can contain embedded macros written in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language.
PPTM files are created and edited using Microsoft PowerPoint or other compatible software that supports the PowerPoint file format. These files can include various multimedia elements such as text, images, videos, audio, and animations. Additionally, PPTM files can incorporate interactive features and custom functionalities through the use of macros.
Macros in PPTM files allow users to automate repetitive tasks, create interactive content, and add custom functionality to their presentations. Macros can be written using the VBA programming language and can perform a wide range of operations, including data manipulation, user input handling, and integration with other software applications.
When opening a PPTM file, PowerPoint may prompt the user to enable or disable macros for security reasons, as macros can potentially execute malicious code. It is important to exercise caution when opening PPTM files from unknown or untrusted sources.
