Programmatic modification of text documents is an integral part of modern digital workflow. Edit text in text, insert graphs using external data, modify tables.
Java library is a stand-alone solution to edit text that doesn't rely on other software. It's ready for commercial use covers all possible needs of professional Java developers:
Java text programmatic editor provides developers with a modern API to edit text programmatically. Quickly integrate text modification features into your software. Our library supports the modification of a variety of document formats in Java.
The task of editing text programmatically in Java is the task of modifying elements in the text document tree. It is also known as the 'DOM' - the programming model for interacting with text document elements and their properties.
text modification features are inseparable from the advanced text search functionality. For a hig level of flexibility, our Java library provides developers with text Regex-based search functionality. This approach expands the possibilities to edit text in text files, allowing the use of templates for dynamic text transformation.
One of the most requested features is the dynamic creation and modification of tables in text documents. Working with tables is very convenient with Java library: edit tables, update tables and extract table text using Java.
The following example demostrates how to modify a text document in Java:

import com.aspose.words.*;
Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert text at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.writeln("Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.");
doc.save("Output.txt");
import com.aspose.words.*;
Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert table at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, cell 1.");
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, cell 2.");
builder.endTable();
doc.save("Output.txt");
import com.aspose.words.*;
Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert image at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.insertImage("Image.png");
doc.save("Output.txt");
We host our Java packages in Maven repositories. 'Aspose.Words for Java' is a common JAR file containing byte-code. Please follow the step-by-step instructions on how to install it to your Java developer environment.
Java SE 7 and more recent Java versions are supported. We also provide a separate package for Java SE 6 in case you are obliged to use this outdated JRE.
Our Java package is cross-platform and runs on all operating systems with JVM implementation, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.
