Convert JSON Format to PPTM via C#
C# API to parse JSON to PPTM without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Converting JSON to PPTM within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application is a simple two-step process. The first step is to parse the JSON to PPTX using Aspose.Cells for .NET. Aspose.Cells for .NET is a powerful .NET library that enables developers to create, manipulate and convert spreadsheets within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application.
The second step is to convert the PPTX to PPTM using Aspose.Slides for .NET. Aspose.Slides for .NET is a powerful .NET library that enables developers to create, manipulate and convert presentations within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application.
Both Aspose.Cells for .NET and Aspose.Slides for .NET are part of the Aspose.Total for .NET package. Aspose.Total for .NET is a suite of .NET libraries that enables developers to create, manipulate and convert documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images and PDFs within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. With Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily convert JSON to PPTM within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application.
Convert JSON Format to PPTM 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 PPTM 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 PPTM via C#
While parsing JSON to PPTM, 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 PPTM with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to PPTM with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your PPTM 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 PPTM.

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 PPTM File Format?
The PPTM file format is a file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint to save presentations that contain macros. It is an extension of the PPTX file format, which is the default file format for PowerPoint presentations. The “M” in PPTM stands for “macro-enabled” indicating that the file can contain embedded macros written in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language.
PPTM files are created and edited using Microsoft PowerPoint or other compatible software that supports the PowerPoint file format. These files can include various multimedia elements such as text, images, videos, audio, and animations. Additionally, PPTM files can incorporate interactive features and custom functionalities through the use of macros.
Macros in PPTM files allow users to automate repetitive tasks, create interactive content, and add custom functionality to their presentations. Macros can be written using the VBA programming language and can perform a wide range of operations, including data manipulation, user input handling, and integration with other software applications.
When opening a PPTM file, PowerPoint may prompt the user to enable or disable macros for security reasons, as macros can potentially execute malicious code. It is important to exercise caution when opening PPTM files from unknown or untrusted sources.
