How Java uses the API of Apache POI or JWord library to read Word files
If you want to use the API of Apache POI or JWord library to read Word files, you can follow these steps:
Using the API of the Apache POI library:
1. You need to add Apache POI dependencies to the Maven project. You can add the following dependencies in the pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi</artifactId>
<version>4.1.2</version>
</dependency>
2. Create an input stream for a Word document and read the content of the Word file:
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ReadWordUsingPOI {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("path/to/your/word/document.docx");
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(file);
XWPFWordExtractor extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(document);
String text = extractor.getText();
System.out.println(text);
file.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Note: This example assumes the use of a. docx file format. If you want to read. doc files (in earlier Word file formats), you can use the HWPF library instead of the XWPF library.
API for using the JWord library:
1. It is necessary to add the dependencies of JWord to the Maven project. You can add the following dependencies in the pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter.core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1</version>
</dependency>
2. Create an input stream for a Word document and read the content of the Word file:
import fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.core.XWPFConverterException;
import fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.xhtml.XHTMLConverter;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class ReadWordUsingJWord {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("path/to/your/word/document.docx");
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(file);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("path/to/your/output.html");
XHTMLConverter.getInstance().convert(document, out, null);
file.close();
out.close();
}Catch (IOException | XWPFConverterException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
In this example, we convert a Word file into an HTML file.
A Word file sample can be any valid Word file that contains text, tables, images, and other Word elements. You can create your own Word file example and read it as needed.
Please note that the above code is only applicable to reading Word files. If you need more advanced features such as manipulating images, styles, tables, etc., please refer to the official documentation of the Apache POI or JWord library for more detailed information.
