Convert JSON Format to PPS via C++
C++ API to parse JSON to PPS without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert JSON to PPS
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is used to store and exchange data. It is a text-based, human-readable format that is used to represent simple data structures and objects. PPS (PowerPoint Show) is a file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentations. It is a binary file format that stores the presentation in a single file. Converting JSON to PPS is beneficial for those who want to store their data in a more secure and organized manner.
How Aspose.Total Helps for JSON to PPS Conversion

It supports a wide range of file formats, including XLS, XLSX, XLSB, CSV, ODS, and more. With Aspose.Cells for C++, you can easily parse JSON to PPTX.
After that, by using Aspose.Slides for C++, you can convert PPTX to PPS. Aspose.Slides for C++ is a powerful API that enables developers to create, manipulate, and convert presentations. It supports a wide range of file formats, including PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, PPTM, and more. With Aspose.Slides for C++, you can easily convert PPTX to PPS.
Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package. Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to create, manipulate, convert, and render a wide range of file formats. It includes APIs for manipulating documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and images. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily convert JSON to PPS within any C++ application in two simple steps.
Convert JSON Format to PPS 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 PPS 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 PPS via C++
While parsing JSON to PPS, 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 PPS with Watermark in C++
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PPS with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PPS 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 PPS.

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 PPS File Format?
The PPS file format is an extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint to save presentations specifically designed for slideshow purposes. It stands for “PowerPoint Slide Show” and is closely related to the PPT (PowerPoint Presentation) format. PPS files contain a collection of slides, each with its own content, layout, and formatting.
Unlike PPT files, which open in the PowerPoint editor, PPS files are intended to be opened directly in slideshow mode. When a PPS file is opened, it launches the presentation in full-screen mode, immediately displaying the slides in the order they were created. This allows for a seamless and uninterrupted presentation experience without the need for manual navigation.
PPS files are commonly used for sharing presentations with others who only need to view the slides rather than edit them. By saving a presentation as a PPS file, you ensure that recipients can open and view the presentation as intended without accidentally modifying the content. This makes it a convenient format for distributing slideshows for meetings, conferences, or self-running presentations.
The PPS format retains all the visual elements, animations, transitions, and multimedia content included in the original PowerPoint presentation. It provides a convenient way to deliver polished and professional-looking slideshows that maintain their intended design and effects.
To open and view PPS files, recipients typically need a compatible software application such as Microsoft PowerPoint, PowerPoint Viewer, or other presentation software capable of reading PPS files. These applications allow users to enjoy the full presentation experience without the need for authoring or editing capabilities.
