Convert JSON Format to ODT via Java
- 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 ODT format using Save method
Conversion Requirements
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include libraries in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
Set Layout & Convert JSON Format to ODT via Java
Furthermore, the API allows you to set layout options for your JSON while parsing JSON to ODT 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 ODT with Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also parse JSON to ODT with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your ODT document, you can first convert 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 ODT.

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 ODT File Format?
ODT is a file format used for storing documents in the Open Document Format (ODF). ODT stands for Open Document Text. It is the default file format for word processing documents created by applications such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and Apache OpenOffice.
ODT 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 documents across different software applications and platforms.
The ODT format supports a wide range of features and formatting options commonly found in word processing documents. It includes support for text styling, paragraphs, tables, images, hyperlinks, headers and footers, footnotes, and more. ODT files can also contain embedded objects and multimedia elements.
One of the key advantages of the ODT format is its compatibility with different software applications. Users can create an ODT document in one word processing application and open it in another without losing formatting or content. This promotes collaboration and ensures that documents can be accessed and edited by users who may be using different software.
ODT files can be easily converted to other popular document formats, such as Microsoft Word’s DOCX format or PDF, for wider compatibility and sharing purposes. Additionally, the ODT format is designed to be future-proof, allowing for long-term preservation and accessibility of documents.
