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 PowerPoint via C#
While parsing JSON to PowerPoint, you can also set layout options for your JSON format 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 PowerPoint with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PowerPoint with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PowerPoint 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, select the master presentation, add shape type using AddAutoShape, and add watermark text using AddTextFrame.

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 POWERPOINT File Format?
PowerPoint is a widely used presentation software that offers various file formats to save and share presentations. Understanding the different file formats in PowerPoint is essential for compatibility, sharing, and maintaining the visual integrity of presentations.
The default file format in PowerPoint is PPT (PowerPoint Presentation). PPT files are compatible with older versions of PowerPoint but may have limitations in terms of compatibility with other software applications. However, with newer versions, the PPTX (PowerPoint Open XML Presentation) format has become more prevalent. PPTX offers several advantages, including smaller file sizes, improved data recovery, and enhanced compatibility with other programs.
In addition to PPT and PPTX, PowerPoint supports other file formats like PDF (Portable Document Format). PDF files are widely used for sharing and publishing presentations because they preserve the formatting, layout, and graphics of the original slides, ensuring consistent viewing across different devices and platforms.
PowerPoint also allows saving presentations in formats like POT (PowerPoint Template) and POTX (PowerPoint Open XML Template). These formats serve as templates for creating new presentations with predefined styles, layouts, and designs.
For compatibility with other software applications, PowerPoint supports formats like ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). ODP files are open-source and can be used with software like LibreOffice and Google Slides. HTML files are web-compatible, allowing presentations to be displayed in web browsers.
