We are pleased to share that the first release of GroupDocs.Assembly Cloud REST API is about to launch. It is a document automation and reports generation REST API designed to create custom documents from the templates. This REST API intelligently assembles the given data with the defined template document and generates an output document based on the data source, in the template’s format as well as in the specified output format. GroupDocs.Assembly Cloud REST API will give you a rich set of document automation and report generation features on any platform with minimal learning curve. The REST API itself does not require any additional software. However, you will require Microsoft Office in order to create templates just like you create docs.
