Convert JSON Format to POWERPOINT via C++
C++ API to parse JSON to POWERPOINT without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Converting JSON to POWERPOINT within any C++ application is now possible with the help of two powerful APIs from Aspose.Total for C++. Aspose.Cells for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++ are the two APIs that can be used to parse JSON to PPTX and then convert PPTX to POWERPOINT respectively.
Aspose.Cells for C++ is a powerful API that can be used to parse JSON to PPTX. It provides a wide range of features that can be used to manipulate the data in the JSON file and convert it into a PPTX file. It also provides a comprehensive set of features to work with the PPTX file, such as formatting, adding images, and more.
Aspose.Slides for C++ is an API that can be used to convert PPTX to POWERPOINT. It provides a wide range of features that can be used to manipulate the data in the PPTX file and convert it into a POWERPOINT file. It also provides a comprehensive set of features to work with the POWERPOINT file, such as formatting, adding images, and more.
Both APIs come under the Aspose.Total for C++ package, which provides a comprehensive set of features to work with various file formats. With the help of these two APIs, you can easily convert JSON to POWERPOINT within any C++ application in two simple steps.
Convert JSON Format to POWERPOINT 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 POWERPOINT 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 POWERPOINT via C++
While parsing JSON to POWERPOINT, 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 POWERPOINT with Watermark in C++
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to POWERPOINT with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your POWERPOINT 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 POWERPOINT.

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 POWERPOINT File Format?
PowerPoint is a widely used presentation software that offers various file formats to save and share presentations. Understanding the different file formats in PowerPoint is essential for compatibility, sharing, and maintaining the visual integrity of presentations.
The default file format in PowerPoint is PPT (PowerPoint Presentation). PPT files are compatible with older versions of PowerPoint but may have limitations in terms of compatibility with other software applications. However, with newer versions, the PPTX (PowerPoint Open XML Presentation) format has become more prevalent. PPTX offers several advantages, including smaller file sizes, improved data recovery, and enhanced compatibility with other programs.
In addition to PPT and PPTX, PowerPoint supports other file formats like PDF (Portable Document Format). PDF files are widely used for sharing and publishing presentations because they preserve the formatting, layout, and graphics of the original slides, ensuring consistent viewing across different devices and platforms.
PowerPoint also allows saving presentations in formats like POT (PowerPoint Template) and POTX (PowerPoint Open XML Template). These formats serve as templates for creating new presentations with predefined styles, layouts, and designs.
For compatibility with other software applications, PowerPoint supports formats like ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). ODP files are open-source and can be used with software like LibreOffice and Google Slides. HTML files are web-compatible, allowing presentations to be displayed in web browsers.
