Convert JSON Format to DXF via C#
C# API to parse JSON to DXF without using third party dependencies
Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of .NET components that enables developers to parse JSON to DXF within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. This powerful suite of components provides a simple two-step process to convert JSON to DXF.
The first step involves using Aspose.Cells for .NET to export JSON to JPEG. This component is a powerful spreadsheet processing API that enables developers to create, manipulate, convert and render spreadsheet files from within their .NET applications. It supports a wide range of file formats, including JSON, and provides a simple API to export JSON to JPEG.
The second step involves using Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert JPEG to DXF. This component is a powerful image processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert and render images from within their .NET applications. It supports a wide range of image formats, including JPEG, and provides a simple API to convert JPEG to DXF.
By using Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily parse JSON to DXF within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. This comprehensive suite of components provides a simple two-step process to convert JSON to DXF, making it easy for developers to create powerful applications that can manipulate and render a wide range of file formats.
Convert JSON Format to DXF via C#
Get Started with .NET File Automation APIs
Install from the command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Set Layout and Convert JSON Format to DXF via C#
While parsing JSON to DXF, you can also set layout options for your JSON 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.
Parse JSON Format to DXF with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to DXF with watermark in your DXF document. In order to add a watermark, you can first render your JSON document to JPEG and add a watermark in it. To demonstrate the operation, you can load your converted JPEG image, add transformations using an object of Matrix class and draw a string as the watermark on the image surface using the Graphics class’ DrawString method. After adding the watermark to it, you can save the JPEG as DXF format. Below is a code example that demonstrates how to add a diagonal watermark to your document.

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 DXF File Format?
The Autodesk Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) is a widely used file format developed by Autodesk for facilitating data interoperability between Autodesk software and other programs. DXF serves as a structured file format that stores drawing information as a collection of vector entities. These entities encompass various geometric shapes, such as points, lines, arcs, circles, polygons, and text. Additionally, DXF files also have the capability to support raster images.
First introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, DXF has undergone several revisions and extensions over the years. The latest revision is DXF R2018, which was introduced alongside AutoCAD 2018.
DXF files are stored as ASCII text files, allowing them to be viewed and edited in any text editor. However, dedicated programs designed for working with DXF files, such as AutoCAD, offer more comprehensive features for viewing and editing. When opened in a text editor, a DXF file is typically divided into three sections: the header, the drawing body, and the trailer. The header contains general information about the drawing, including its title, author, and creation date. The drawing body comprises the actual vector entities that constitute the drawing, while the trailer provides concluding information, such as the total number of entities in the file.
DXF files are conventionally saved with the .dxf file extension, and their versatility and widespread adoption have made them a standard for exchanging and sharing drawing data across various CAD and design applications.
