Document Preview
- jszip:
jszipdoes not offer document preview capabilities. It is a library for creating, reading, and manipulating ZIP files, which does not involve rendering document content. - mammoth:
mammothdoes not provide a preview feature. However, it converts DOCX files to HTML, which can be displayed in a web browser, allowing for a form of content preview after conversion. - docxtemplater:
docxtemplaterdoes not provide document preview functionality. Its primary focus is on generating DOCX files from templates with dynamic content, rather than displaying or rendering existing documents. - docx-preview:
docx-previewallows you to preview DOCX files directly in the browser, rendering the document content without any server-side processing. This feature is useful for applications that need to display document content quickly and efficiently. - officegen:
officegendoes not include document preview functionality. It is designed for generating office documents programmatically, rather than displaying or rendering existing files.
Document Generation
- jszip:
jszipdoes not generate documents. It is used for creating and manipulating ZIP files, which can contain any type of file, including documents, but does not create them directly. - mammoth:
mammothdoes not generate documents. It is focused on converting DOCX files to HTML and plain text, rather than creating new files. - docxtemplater:
docxtemplaterexcels at generating DOCX files from templates by replacing placeholders with dynamic data. This makes it highly suitable for applications that require automated document creation. - docx-preview:
docx-previewdoes not support document generation. It is solely focused on previewing existing DOCX files in the browser. - officegen:
officegenis capable of generating various types of office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) programmatically. It provides a simple API for creating documents, making it versatile for multi-format generation.
File Manipulation
- jszip:
jszipprovides extensive file manipulation capabilities, including creating, reading, and modifying ZIP files. It allows developers to manipulate file contents within ZIP archives, making it a powerful tool for file management. - mammoth:
mammothdoes not manipulate files. It reads DOCX files and converts them to HTML or plain text, but it does not provide functionality for editing or altering the original documents. - docxtemplater:
docxtemplaterdoes not manipulate files directly. It modifies DOCX templates by replacing placeholders with data, but it does not provide functionality for editing or altering existing files. - docx-preview:
docx-previewdoes not manipulate files. It only renders DOCX files for previewing purposes without altering the original content. - officegen:
officegenallows for the creation of documents but does not provide features for manipulating existing files. It is focused on generating new documents rather than editing or altering them.
Conversion Capabilities
- jszip:
jszipdoes not provide conversion capabilities. It is a library for working with ZIP files, allowing for compression and extraction, but it does not convert files between formats. - mammoth:
mammothspecializes in converting DOCX files to HTML and plain text. It focuses on preserving the semantic structure of the content during conversion, making it ideal for extracting text and HTML from DOCX files. - docxtemplater:
docxtemplaterdoes not perform file conversion. It generates DOCX files from templates but does not convert files between different formats. - docx-preview:
docx-previewdoes not offer conversion capabilities. It simply renders DOCX files in the browser without converting them to other formats. - officegen:
officegendoes not provide conversion capabilities. It generates office documents in various formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) but does not convert files between different formats.
Ease of Use: Code Examples
- jszip:
Creating a ZIP file with
jszipimport JSZip from 'jszip'; import FileSaver from 'file-saver'; const createZip = (files) => { const zip = new JSZip(); files.forEach((file) => { zip.file(file.name, file.content); }); zip.generateAsync({ type: 'blob' }).then((content) => { FileSaver.saveAs(content, 'archive.zip'); }); }; - mammoth:
Converting a DOCX file to HTML with
mammothimport { convertToHtml } from 'mammoth'; const convertDocxToHtml = (file) => { const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = (event) => { const arrayBuffer = event.target.result; convertToHtml(arrayBuffer).then((result) => { document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = result.value; }); }; reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file); }; - docxtemplater:
Generating a DOCX file with
docxtemplaterimport Docxtemplater from 'docxtemplater'; import PizZip from 'pizzip'; const generateDocx = (templateFile, data) => { const zip = new PizZip(templateFile); const doc = new Docxtemplater(zip); doc.render(data); return doc.getZip().generateAsync({ type: 'blob' }); }; - docx-preview:
Previewing a DOCX file with
docx-previewimport { preview } from 'docx-preview'; const fileInput = document.getElementById('fileInput'); const previewContainer = document.getElementById('previewContainer'); fileInput.addEventListener('change', (event) => { const file = event.target.files[0]; if (file) { preview(file, previewContainer); } }); - officegen:
Generating a DOCX file with
officegenconst officegen = require('officegen'); const fs = require('fs'); const doc = officegen('docx'); // Add content to the document const p = doc.createP(); p.addText('Hello, World!'); // Generate the document const out = fs.createWriteStream('output.docx'); doc.generate(out);
