GroupDocs.Editor Cloud Product Family

Another good news for Cloud Developers! GroupDocs has launched the Document Editing Cloud API. This improves the document editing solution of GroupDocs. The solution already exists for .NET and Java developers as on-premises APIs, and as cross-platform online apps for any kind of user to edit a document online for free. The GroupDocs.Editor Cloud API along with SDKs allow developers to edit most of the popular document formats using front-end WYSIWYG editors without any additional applications.

GroupDocs.Editor Cloud is the REST API that provides many editing options and output customizations to customize the editing process of various document types. Some of the main features include:

  • Edit a word processing document in a flow or paged mode.
  • Manage font extraction to provide the same user experience.
  • Memory usage optimization of large files.
  • Support of multi-tabbed spreadsheets.
  • Flexible numeric and dates conversion.
  • URI and Email address recognition.

To get a much better idea about the features and the product, you can always visit the developer guide in the documentation section.

Supported Document Types

Here are the currently supported document formats. You can visit the documentation for GroupDocs.Editor Cloud any time to know about all the supported document formats.

SDKs and Samples

Along with the document editing REST API for Cloud, GroupDocs also provides open-source SDKs, therefore, these can be self-customized according to the requirements. Developers can use cURL to interact with GroupDocs.Editor Cloud API and can also use the relevant SDK(s) to speed up the development. This helps developers to stop worrying about low-level details of making a request and handling the responses. Below-mentioned SDKs along with the code examples are available on GitHub:

fileInfo.setFilePath("Spreadsheet/four-sheets.xlsx");
SpreadsheetLoadOptions loadOptions = new SpreadsheetLoadOptions();
loadOptions.setFileInfo(fileInfo);
loadOptions.setOutputPath("output");
LoadResult loadResult = editApi.load(new LoadRequest(loadOptions));
// Download html document
File file = fileApi.downloadFile(new DownloadFileRequest(loadResult.getHtmlPath(), null, null));
// Edit something...
List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(file.toPath());
List<String> newLines = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String line : lines) {
newLines.add(line.replaceAll("This is sample sheet", "This is sample sheep"));
}
Files.write(file.toPath(), newLines);
// Upload html back to storage
fileApi.uploadFile(new UploadFileRequest(loadResult.getHtmlPath(), file, Common.MYStorage));
// Save html back to xlsx
SpreadsheetSaveOptions saveOptions = new SpreadsheetSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setFileInfo(fileInfo);
saveOptions.setOutputPath("output/edited.xlsx");
saveOptions.setHtmlPath(loadResult.getHtmlPath());
saveOptions.setResourcesPath(loadResult.getResourcesPath());
DocumentResult saveResult = editApi.save(new SaveRequest(saveOptions));
