Convert JSON Format to PPT via C#
C# API to parse JSON to PPT without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Converting JSON to PPT is a simple process that can be done within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. It can be done in two steps using the Aspose.Total for .NET package.
The first step is to parse the JSON to PPTX using Aspose.Cells for .NET. This API is part of the Aspose.Total for .NET package and is designed to help developers create, manipulate and convert spreadsheets. It can be used to parse JSON to PPTX, allowing developers to easily convert JSON data into a PowerPoint presentation.
The second step is to convert the PPTX to PPT using Aspose.Slides for .NET. This API is also part of the Aspose.Total for .NET package and is designed to help developers create, manipulate and convert presentations. It can be used to convert PPTX to PPT, allowing developers to quickly and easily convert their JSON data into a PowerPoint presentation.
By using the Aspose.Total for .NET package, developers can easily convert JSON to PPT within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. This package provides the necessary APIs to parse JSON to PPTX and then convert PPTX to PPT, allowing developers to quickly and easily create a PowerPoint presentation from their JSON data.
Convert JSON Format to PPT 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 PPT format using Save method
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 PPT via C#
While parsing JSON to PPT, 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 PPT with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PPT with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PPT 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 PPT.

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 PPT File Format?
The PowerPoint file format, commonly known as PPT (PowerPoint Presentation), is a proprietary file format developed by Microsoft for creating and delivering presentations. PPT files are the standard file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint, the popular presentation software included in the Microsoft Office suite.
PPT files contain a combination of text, images, graphics, animations, and multimedia elements that are arranged in slides. Each slide represents a separate screen or page within the presentation and can include various content such as titles, bullet points, charts, tables, and media files like images, audio, and video.
The format of a PPT file is binary, meaning it stores data in a binary format that is optimized for efficient storage and processing by the PowerPoint application. PPT files also support a range of features and formatting options, including slide transitions, animations, speaker notes, and embedded objects.
In addition to being editable within Microsoft PowerPoint, PPT files can also be viewed and presented using the PowerPoint software or compatible applications on different platforms, including Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. They can be shared via email, transferred through portable storage devices, or uploaded to cloud storage platforms for easy collaboration and distribution.
While Microsoft PowerPoint is the primary software used to create and modify PPT files, there are alternative presentation software applications that can open and work with PPT files, such as LibreOffice Impress and Google Slides. However, it’s important to note that there may be some compatibility limitations or variations in feature support when using non-Microsoft software.
