Convert JSON Format to WMF via C#
C# API to parse JSON to WMF without using third party dependencies
Aspose.Total for .NET is a comprehensive suite of .NET components that enables developers to parse JSON to WMF within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. It provides a simple two-step process to achieve this.
The first step is to use Aspose.Cells for .NET to export JSON to JPEG. This component is a powerful spreadsheet processing API that enables developers to create, manipulate, convert and render spreadsheets. It supports a wide range of formats, including JSON, and can be used to export JSON to JPEG with ease.
The second step is to use Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert JPEG to WMF. This component is a powerful image processing API that enables developers to create, edit, convert and render images. It supports a wide range of formats, including JPEG and WMF, and can be used to convert JPEG to WMF with ease.
By using Aspose.Total for .NET, developers can easily parse JSON to WMF within any .NET, C#, ASP.NET and VB.NET application. It provides a simple two-step process that involves using Aspose.Cells for .NET to export JSON to JPEG and Aspose.Imaging for .NET to convert JPEG to WMF. This makes it an ideal solution for developers who need to parse JSON to WMF quickly and easily.

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 WMF via C#
While parsing JSON to WMF, 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 WMF with Watermark
Using the API, you can also convert JSON to WMF with watermark in your WMF 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 WMF 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 WMF File Format?
Windows Metafile (WMF) is a graphics file format commonly used on Microsoft Windows systems. It is typically created by vector graphic editors such as Adobe Illustrator or Microsoft Office Visio. WMF files are designed to be displayed on screens and printed on printers. The format is based on the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) and utilizes a device-independent coordinate system.
WMF files can contain both vector graphics and bitmap images. Vector graphics are defined using mathematical formulas that represent lines, curves, and shapes, allowing for scalability without loss of quality. Bitmap images, on the other hand, consist of pixels arranged in a grid and are suitable for representing complex visual details.
Various programs, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Adobe Photoshop, can open and work with WMF files. These programs provide features for editing, resizing, and manipulating the graphics within the WMF files.
It’s important to note that WMF is an older file format, and its usage has decreased over time in favor of more modern formats such as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics). However, WMF files are still supported by many applications and can be converted to other formats if needed.
