Convert JSON Format to ODP via C++
C++ API to parse JSON to ODP without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert JSON to ODP
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, ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) is an open standard for electronic documents. It is used to create presentations and is supported by many applications. Converting JSON to ODP can be useful for creating presentations from data stored in JSON format.
How Aspose.Total Helps for JSON to ODP Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that can be used to create, manipulate and convert documents and images. It includes APIs for manipulating documents such as Aspose.Cells for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++. By using Aspose.Cells for C++, you can parse JSON to PPTX. After that, by using Aspose.Slides for C++, you can convert PPTX to ODP. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package. This makes it easy to convert JSON to ODP within any C++ application in two simple steps.
Convert JSON Format to ODP via C++
- Create a new IWorkbook object and read valid JSON data from file
- Save JSON as PPTX using Save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to ODP format using Save method
Get Started with C++ File Automation APIs
Install via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Set Layout and Convert JSON Format to ODP via C++
While parsing JSON to ODP, you can also set the size of rows and columns by loading JSON with IWorkbook class. If you need to set the same row height for all rows in the worksheet, you can do it by using the SetStandardHeight method of the ICells collection. Similarly, to set the same column width for all columns in the worksheet, use the ICells collection’s SetStandardWidth method.
Convert JSON Format to ODP with Watermark in C++
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to ODP with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your ODP 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, get the first slide, Add an AutoShape of Rectangle type, add TextFrame to the Rectangle, create the Paragraph object for a text frame, create Portion object for paragraph, add watermark using set_Text() and, can save the document to ODP.

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 ODP File Format?
ODP is a file format used for storing presentation slides in the Open Document Format (ODF). ODP stands for Open Document Presentation. It is the default file format for presentation software applications such as LibreOffice Impress, OpenOffice Impress, and Apache OpenOffice.
ODP files are based on XML, which is a markup language used for organizing and structuring data. They are designed to be an open and interoperable format, allowing users to create, edit, and share presentation slides across different software applications and platforms.
The ODP format supports a wide range of features and elements commonly used in presentations. It includes support for slide layouts, text formatting, images, charts, tables, transitions, animations, and multimedia elements such as audio and video.
One of the advantages of the ODP format is its compatibility with different presentation software. Users can create an ODP presentation in one application and open it in another without losing formatting or content. This facilitates collaboration and allows for seamless sharing and editing of presentations among users.
ODP files can be easily converted to other popular presentation formats, such as Microsoft PowerPoint’s PPTX format or PDF, for broader accessibility and sharing purposes. Additionally, the ODP format promotes long-term document preservation and accessibility, ensuring that presentations can be accessed and displayed accurately over time.
