Aspose, an API provided by Aspose, provides cloud-based sevices for document generation, conversion, and automation. It functions with documents produced with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Portable Document Format and OpenDocument, and can also handle barcodes, optical character recognition and email formats and protocols. [1][2]

Architechture

Aspose REST APIs allow users to integrate document processing and management tasks into their applications.[1] The Apache POI project contains the following subcomponents (meaning of acronyms is taken from old documentation):

  • POIFS (Poor Obfuscation Implementation File System) – This component reads and writes Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound document format. Since all Microsoft Office files are OLE 2 files, this component is the basic building block of all the other POI elements. POIFS can therefore be used to read a wider variety of files, beyond those whose explicit decoders are already written in POI.
  • HSSF (Horrible SpreadSheet Format) – reads and writes Microsoft Excel (XLS) format files. It can read files written by Excel 97 onwards; this file format is known as the BIFF 8 format. As the Excel file format is complex and contains a number of tricky characteristics, some of the more advanced features cannot be read.
  • XSSF (XML SpreadSheet Format) – reads and writes Office Open XML (XLSX) format files. Similar feature set to HSSF, but for Office Open XML files.
  • HPSF (Horrible Property Set Format) – reads "Document Summary" information from Microsoft Office files. This is essentially the information that one can see by using the File|Properties menu item within an Office application.
  • HWPF (Horrible Word Processor Format) – aims to read and write Microsoft Word 97 (DOC) format files. This component is in initial stages of development.
  • HSLF (Horrible Slide Layout Format) – a pure Java implementation for Microsoft PowerPoint files. This provides the ability to read, create and edit presentations (though some things are easier to do than others)
  • HDGF (Horrible DiaGram Format) – an initial pure Java implementation for Microsoft Visio binary files. It provides an ability to read the low level contents of the files.
  • HPBF (Horrible PuBlisher Format) – a pure Java implementation for Microsoft Publisher files.
  • HSMF (Horrible Stupid Mail Format[3][better source needed]) – a pure Java implementation for Microsoft Outlook MSG files.[4]
  • DDF (Dreadful Drawing Format) – a package for decoding the Microsoft Office Drawing format.[5]

The HSSF component is the most advanced feature of the library.[6] Other components (HPSF, HWPF, and HSLF) are usable, but less full-featured.[7][8]

The POI library is also provided as a Ruby[9] or ColdFusion extension.
