Convert JSON Format to PPSX via C#
C# API to parse JSON to PPSX without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Converting JSON to PPSX within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application is a simple two-step process. The first step is to use the Aspose.Cells for .NET API to parse the JSON into a PPTX file. This API is part of the Aspose.Total for .NET package. The second step is to use the Aspose.Slides for .NET API to convert the PPTX file to a PPSX file. This API is also part of the Aspose.Total for .NET package.
The Aspose.Cells for .NET API is a powerful library that can be used to create, read, edit and convert spreadsheets. It supports a wide range of file formats, including JSON. It also provides features such as data validation, conditional formatting, charting, and more.
The Aspose.Slides for .NET API is a powerful library that can be used to create, read, edit and convert presentations. It supports a wide range of file formats, including PPTX and PPSX. It also provides features such as text formatting, animation, transitions, and more.
By using the Aspose.Total for .NET package, developers can easily convert JSON to PPSX within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. This package provides a comprehensive set of APIs that can be used to create, read, edit and convert a wide range of file formats.
Convert JSON Format to PPSX via C#
- Create a new Workbook object and read valid JSON data from file
- Import JSON file to worksheet using JsonUtility class and Save it as PPTX
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class
- Save the document to PPSX format using Save method
Conversion Requirements
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 PPSX via C#
While parsing JSON to PPSX, 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 PPSX with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PPSX with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PPSX 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. After adding the watermark, you can save the document to PPSX.

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 PPSX File Format?
The PPXS file format is a file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint to save presentations in a compressed format. It is an extension of the PPTX file format, which is the default file format for PowerPoint presentations. The “S” in PPXS stands for “compressed”, indicating that the file has undergone compression to reduce its size.
The purpose of the PPXS format is to create smaller file sizes for PowerPoint presentations, making them easier to share, transfer, and store. The compression algorithm used in PPXS files helps to reduce the overall file size while maintaining the content and formatting of the presentation.
PPXS files can be created and edited using Microsoft PowerPoint or other software that supports the PowerPoint file format. They contain various multimedia elements such as text, images, videos, audio, and animations, just like regular PowerPoint presentations.
When opening a PPXS file, PowerPoint decompresses the file to restore it to its original PPTX format, allowing users to view and edit the presentation as they would with any other PowerPoint file.
The use of the PPXS format can be beneficial when working with large presentations or when there is a need to optimize file sizes for sharing or storage purposes. However, it’s worth noting that decompressing the PPXS file to its original PPTX format may require additional processing time.
