Java API to Export XML to XAML
Export XML to XAML via on premise Java API without using Microsoft® PowerPoint or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Aspose.Total for Java is a comprehensive suite of components that enables developers to easily convert XML to XAML within any Java J2SE, J2EE, or J2ME application. The process involves two steps, both of which are made simple by the use of Aspose components.
The first step is to export XML to PPTX using Aspose.PDF for Java. This component provides a wide range of features for working with PDF documents, including the ability to convert XML to PDF. Once the XML has been converted to PDF, it can then be exported to PPTX.
The second step is to convert PPTX to XAML using Aspose.Slides for Java. This component provides a powerful PowerPoint Processing API that enables developers to quickly and easily convert PPTX to XAML. The API also provides a range of features for working with PowerPoint presentations, including the ability to add, edit, and delete slides, as well as to insert images, shapes, and text.
By using Aspose.Total for Java, developers can quickly and easily convert XML to XAML within any Java application. The process is simple and straightforward, and the components provide a range of features for working with PDF and PowerPoint documents.
Java API to Convert XML to XAML
- Open XML file using Document class
- Convert XML to PPTX by using save method
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to XAML format using
save
method and set
Xamlas SaveFormat
Get Started with Java File Format APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Slides for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load XML file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.xml");
// save XML as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Xaml format
presentation.save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);
Open Encrypted XML File via Java
While loading XML file format, your document might be password protected. Aspose.PDF for Java allows you open encrypted documents as well. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize new instance of the Document class and pass filename and password as arguments.
// open XML document
Document doc = new Document("input.xml", "Your@Password");
// save XML as PPTX format
document.save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
Save XAML File with Predefined View Type via Java
After converting XML to XAML, you can also add predefined view type for your presentation. Aspose.Slides for Java provides a facility to set the view type for the generated presentation when it is opened in PowerPoint through the ViewProperties class. The setLastView property is used to set the view type by using the ViewType enumerator.
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// set view type
presentation.getViewProperties().setLastView((byte) ViewType.SlideMasterView);
// save the presentation as Xaml format
presentation.save("output.xaml", SaveFormat.Xaml);

What is XML File Format?
XML, which stands for Extensible Markup Language, is a file format that shares similarities with HTML but has a different purpose and structure. The primary objective of XML is to store and transport data in a self-describing and platform-independent manner. It provides a set of rules for defining custom tags that allow users to create their own markup languages specific to their needs.
The key advantage of XML is its ability to represent data in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. This makes it suitable for creating data protocols and exchanging structured information over networks such as the World Wide Web (WWW). XML-based file formats, such as Microsoft Open XML, LibreOffice OpenDocument, XHTML, and SVG, utilize XML to define the structure and content of their documents.
The extensibility of XML is denoted by the “X” in its name, which implies that the language can be expanded to include new tags and elements as required. This flexibility allows XML to adapt to diverse data structures and requirements, making it widely adopted in various industries and domains.
However, one drawback of XML is its verbosity. XML files can be relatively large due to the inclusion of markup tags and repetitive structure. This can make XML documents more challenging to read and process, especially when dealing with large datasets. Care must be taken to manage the markup tags effectively to avoid errors or inconsistencies in the data.
What is XAML File Format?
XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) is an XML-based language developed by Microsoft for initializing objects and defining structured values. It is extensively used in Microsoft’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) technology for designing and building advanced user interfaces.
With XAML, it is possible to create a wide range of objects, including user interface elements such as buttons, text boxes, and media elements. Additionally, non-user interface objects such as brushes and geometries can also be defined using XAML.
Typically, XAML is compiled into a binary format that can be executed by a XAML processor. The XAML processor can be a standalone application like Microsoft’s Expression Blend tool or integrated into another application such as Microsoft’s Visual Studio IDE. When used in conjunction with WPF, XAML files are commonly compiled into a binary format known as BAML (Binary Application Markup Language). BAML is a more efficient format for storing and processing XAML-based user interface elements.
While XAML files are often compiled into binary formats, they can also be stored in a text-based format using XML (Extensible Markup Language). XML-based XAML files can be edited using any text editor due to the flexibility of XML. However, it is important to note that XML-based XAML files tend to be larger in size and may take longer to process compared to their binary counterparts.
