Convert JSON Format to RTF via C#
C# API to parse JSON to RTF without using Microsoft® Word
By using Aspose.Total for .NET you can parse JSON to RTF within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application in two simple steps. Firstly, by using Aspose.Cells for .NET , you can export JSON to PDF. After that, by using Aspose.Words for .NET , you can convert PDF to RTF.
Convert JSON Format to RTF 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 PDF
- Load PDF document by using Document class
- Save the document to RTF 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 RTF via C#
While parsing JSON to RTF, 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 RTF with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to RTF with watermark. In order to add a watermark to your RTF document, you can first parse JSON file to PDF and add a watermark to it. In order to add a watermark, load the newly created PDF file using the Document class, create an instance of TextWatermarkOptions and set its properties, Call Watermark.SetText method and pass watermark text & object of TextWatermarkOptions. After adding the watermark, you can save the document to RTF.

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 RTF File Format?
The RTF (Rich Text Format) file format is a versatile and widely supported file format for storing text documents with formatting. It was developed by Microsoft in the late 1980s as a cross-platform format that could be easily exchanged between different word processing applications.
RTF files are typically saved with the .rtf file extension and can be opened and edited by various text editors and word processing software, including Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. The format allows for the inclusion of various formatting elements, such as font styles, sizes, colors, paragraphs, tables, and images.
One of the key advantages of RTF is its platform independence, which means that an RTF file created on one operating system can be opened and rendered correctly on another without losing formatting. This makes it a preferred choice for document exchange and collaboration.
RTF files use a plain-text formatting syntax, which means that the files are human-readable and can be modified with a text editor if needed. However, RTF files can be quite large in size compared to other formats like plain text or Markdown, as they store formatting information explicitly.
While RTF is primarily used for text documents, it can also support the embedding of other types of files, such as images and objects, within the document. This allows for the creation of more complex and visually appealing documents.
