Convert JSON Format to POTM via Java
Java API to parse JSON format to POTM without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert JSON format to POTM within any Java application. It provides two components, Aspose.Cells for Java and Aspose.Slides for Java, which can be used to convert JSON to POTM in two simple steps.
Aspose.Cells for Java is a powerful Java library that enables developers to parse JSON to PPTX. It provides a wide range of features that allow developers to manipulate and convert spreadsheets in various formats, including JSON. It also provides a comprehensive set of APIs that can be used to create, edit, and convert spreadsheets.
Aspose.Slides for Java is a powerful Java library that enables developers to convert PPTX to POTM. It provides a wide range of features that allow developers to manipulate and convert presentations in various formats, including POTM. It also provides a comprehensive set of APIs that can be used to create, edit, and convert presentations.

Convert JSON Format to POTM via Java
- Create a new Workbook object and open JSON file
- Save JSON as PPTX using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to POTM format using save method
Get Started with Java File Automation APIs
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 and Convert JSON Format to POTM via Java
Furthermore, the API allows you to parse JSON to POTM with specified layout options. In order to specify the layout options, you can use JsonLayoutOptions class. It allows you to process an 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 POTM with Watermark via Java
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to POTM with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your POTM 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, loop through all slides, add text using addTextFrame, set all the relevant options like color, fillType and more and can save the document to POTM.

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 POTM File Format?
POTM is a file format used in Microsoft PowerPoint to store presentation templates that also include macros. Similar to the POTX format, POTM files are part of the Office Open XML (OOXML) format introduced in PowerPoint 2007.
The “M” in POTM stands for macros, indicating that these templates can contain VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code that automates tasks and enhances the functionality of the presentation. This allows users to create dynamic and interactive templates that go beyond static design elements.
POTM files offer the same benefits as POTX files in terms of providing pre-designed slide layouts, formatting, and styles. However, the inclusion of macros adds an extra layer of interactivity and automation to the templates. Macros can perform tasks such as data manipulation, calculations, slide transitions, and user interactions, making presentations more engaging and efficient.
To use a POTM file, users can open it in PowerPoint or select it as a template when creating a new presentation. The macros embedded in the POTM template can be executed and interacted with during the presentation, providing enhanced functionality beyond what is possible with a standard template.
It’s important to note that due to security concerns, some systems and organizations may have restrictions on running macros in PowerPoint presentations. In such cases, users may need to adjust their security settings or obtain necessary permissions to enable the execution of macros in POTM files.
POTM files are compatible with different versions of PowerPoint on various platforms, allowing users to create and share templates with macros across different devices and environments. They provide a powerful tool for creating interactive and automated presentations, offering greater flexibility and customization options for users.
