Convert JSON Format to RTF in Android Applications
Parse JSON to RTF within Android applications without using Microsoft® Word
Converting JSON to RTF in Android applications is a two-step process that can be accomplished using the Aspose.Total for Android via Java product family. The first step is to use the Powerful Spreadsheet Processing API, Aspose.Cells for Android via Java, to parse the JSON into a PDF. This API is available as part of the Aspose.Total for Android via Java product family. The second step is to use the Word Processing API, Aspose.Words for Android via Java, to convert the PDF into an RTF file. This API is also available as part of the Aspose.Total for Android via Java product family.
Using the Aspose.Total for Android via Java product family, developers can easily and quickly convert JSON to RTF in their Android applications. The Powerful Spreadsheet Processing API, Aspose.Cells for Android via Java, can be used to parse the JSON into a PDF. Then, the Word Processing API, Aspose.Words for Android via Java, can be used to convert the PDF into an RTF file. This two-step process is simple and efficient, allowing developers to quickly and easily convert JSON to RTF in their Android applications.
Convert JSON Format to RTF in Android Apps
- Create a new Workbook object and read valid JSON data from file
- Import JSON file to worksheet using JsonUtility class and Save it as PDF
- Load PDF document by using Document class
- Save the document to RTF 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 & Convert JSON Format to RTF in Android Apps
Furthermore, the API allows you to set layout options for your JSON format while parsing JSON to RTF using JsonLayoutOptions . It allows you to process 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 RTF with Watermark in Android Apps
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to RTF with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your RTF document, you can first parse the JSON file to PDF and add a watermark to it. In order to add a watermark, load the newly created PDF file using the Document class, create an instance of TextWatermarkOptions and set its properties, Call Watermark.setText method and pass watermark text & object of TextWatermarkOptions. After adding the watermark, you can save the document to RTF.

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 RTF File Format?
The RTF (Rich Text Format) file format is a versatile and widely supported file format for storing text documents with formatting. It was developed by Microsoft in the late 1980s as a cross-platform format that could be easily exchanged between different word processing applications.
RTF files are typically saved with the .rtf file extension and can be opened and edited by various text editors and word processing software, including Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. The format allows for the inclusion of various formatting elements, such as font styles, sizes, colors, paragraphs, tables, and images.
One of the key advantages of RTF is its platform independence, which means that an RTF file created on one operating system can be opened and rendered correctly on another without losing formatting. This makes it a preferred choice for document exchange and collaboration.
RTF files use a plain-text formatting syntax, which means that the files are human-readable and can be modified with a text editor if needed. However, RTF files can be quite large in size compared to other formats like plain text or Markdown, as they store formatting information explicitly.
While RTF is primarily used for text documents, it can also support the embedding of other types of files, such as images and objects, within the document. This allows for the creation of more complex and visually appealing documents.
