Convert JSON Format to POTX via C++
C++ API to parse JSON to POTX without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert JSON to POTX
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is used to store and exchange data. It is a text-based format that is easy for humans to read and write. POTX (PowerPoint Open XML) is a file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentations. It is based on the Open XML standard and is used to store presentations in XML format. Converting JSON to POTX allows users to store and exchange data in a format that is compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint.
How Aspose.Total Helps for JSON to POTX Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert various file formats within their C++ applications. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Cells for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++, which can be used to convert JSON to POTX.
Using Aspose.Cells for C++, developers can parse JSON to PPTX. This API provides a wide range of features for manipulating spreadsheets, such as creating, editing, and converting spreadsheets. It also supports a variety of file formats, including JSON.
Once the JSON is parsed to PPTX, Aspose.Slides for C++ can be used to convert PPTX to POTX. This API provides a wide range of features for manipulating presentations, such as creating, editing, and converting presentations. It also supports a variety of file formats, including POTX.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily convert JSON to POTX within any C++ application in two simple steps. This makes it easy for developers to store and exchange data in a format that is compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint.
Convert JSON Format to POTX 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 POTX 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 POTX via C++
While parsing JSON to POTX, 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 POTX with Watermark in C++
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to POTX with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your POTX 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 POTX.

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 POTX File Format?
POTX is a file format used in Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentation templates. It is part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) format introduced in PowerPoint 2007 and is an evolution of the older POT format. The “X” in POTX signifies the XML-based nature of the format.
POTX files contain pre-designed slide layouts, formatting, and styles that can be applied to new presentations. These templates serve as a starting point for creating consistent and visually appealing slideshows. They can include placeholders for text, images, charts, tables, and other multimedia elements, allowing users to customize the content while maintaining a consistent design.
The use of POTX files offers several advantages. They allow users to save time and effort by reusing predefined layouts and designs, ensuring a consistent look and feel across presentations. They also enable organizations to establish brand identity and enforce corporate design standards by providing templates with company-specific branding elements.
To use a POTX file, users can simply open it in PowerPoint or select it as a template when creating a new presentation. PowerPoint provides editing tools to modify the template and customize the content as needed. Additionally, users can save their own customized templates in the POTX format for future use or sharing with others.
POTX files are widely compatible with different versions of PowerPoint on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. They provide a convenient way to streamline the presentation creation process and maintain consistency in visual design and formatting.
