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 TGA via C#
While parsing JSON to TGA, 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 TGA with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to TGA with watermark in your TGA document. In order to add a watermark, you can first render your JSON document to JPEG and add a watermark in it. To demonstrate the operation, you can load your converted JPEG image, add transformations using an object of Matrix class and draw a string as the watermark on the image surface using the Graphics class’ DrawString method. After adding the watermark to it, you can save the JPEG as TGA format. Below is a code example that demonstrates how to add a diagonal watermark to your document.

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 TGA File Format?
The Truevision Graphics Adapter (TGA) is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision Inc. It was initially designed as the native format for TARGA and VISTA boards, which were among the first graphics cards for IBM PC compatibles to offer true color display with 24 bits. TGA supports up to 32 bits per pixel and includes features such as compression, alpha channels, and gamma correction.
The TGA file format is relatively straightforward and consists of several mandatory fields followed by a variable-length image data section. The header of a TGA file must include specific fields such as the number of image ID bytes, the number of color map entries (if applicable), the number of image pixels per byte, the X and Y coordinates of the image origin, the width and height of the image in pixels, the number of bits per pixel, and the image descriptor byte.
The image data section of the TGA file contains the actual image pixels stored as a sequence of bytes. Each pixel is represented by a specified number of bits, which must be a multiple of 8 as per the header. The image descriptor byte provides information about the image orientation and alpha channel. The highest two bits indicate the alpha channel depth, while the remaining six bits determine the image orientation: left-to-right, top-to-bottom; right-to-left, top-to-bottom; left-to-right, bottom-to-top; or right-to-left, bottom-to-top.
If the image includes an alpha channel for transparency, it will be stored in a separate section after the image data. The alpha channel data consists of a sequence of bytes, with each byte representing the opacity of a corresponding pixel.
