Convert Markdown to XPS – Cloud SDKs and REST API

Markdown to XPS

Aspose.HTML Cloud v4.0 provides the simplest API to convert MD documents to XPS format with high quality, easy and fast.

The article provides a series of code examples demonstrating how to convert a Markdown document to XPS using Aspose.HTML Cloud client SDKs and REST API. It covers various scenarios, including converting from a local file to a local file system and from cloud storage to cloud storage. SDKs are available in PHP, C++, Ruby, Python, C#, Java, Android, Swift, and Node.js. We will consider various scenarios of Markdown to XPS conversion.

SDK Examples of Markdown to XPS Conversion

A widespread use case for Aspose.HTML Cloud SDK functions is file processing and converting. Cloud SDK allows you to fetch an Markdown document from a storage location by its name or from a local file on your drive, convert it to a specified format, and save it to storage or your local drive. The following code examples demonstrate how to convert Markdown to XPS for different cases using available SDKs and cURL.

Example 1. Convert Markdown file to XPS with default save options

The following example demonstrates the simplest way to convert Markdown to XPS using C#. A Markdown file located locally is converted to XPS format and subsequently saved to the local file system. You can download the C# SDK from the GitHub repository.

1// Initialize SDK API
2var api = new HtmlApi("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET").ConvertApi;
3
4// Convert Markdown to XPS
5var result = await api.ConvertAsync("test.md", "test.xps");

Java

The following example demonstrates how to convert Markdown to XPS using Java. A Markdown file located locally is converted to XPS format and subsequently saved to the local file system. You can download the java SDK from the GitHub repository.

 1Configuration.setBasePath("https://api.aspose.cloud");
 2Configuration.setAuthPath("https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token");
 3
 4HtmlApi api = new HtmlApi("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET");
 5
 6JobBuilder builder = new ConverterBuilder()
 7                .fromLocalFile("input.md")
 8                .saveToLocal("output.xps");
 9
10OperationResult result = api.convert(builder);

 4cur_dir = cur_dir.substr(0, pos + 1); // Include the last slash
 5std::wstring w_cur_dir(cur_dir.begin(), cur_dir.end());
 6

 9const utility::string_t basePath = L"https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0";
10const utility::string_t authPath = L"https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token";
11
12// Create configuration for authorization
13std::shared_ptr<ApiConfiguration> apiConfig(new ApiConfiguration(clientId, clientSecret, basePath, authPath));
14
15// Create client from configuration
16std::shared_ptr<ApiClient> apiClient(new ApiClient(apiConfig));
17
18// Create ConversionApi
19std::shared_ptr<ConversionApi> api = std::make_shared<ConversionApi>(apiClient);
20
21// File name for conversion
22utility::string_t src = w_cur_dir + L"test.md";
23utility::string_t dst = w_cur_dir + L"result.xps";
24
25// Conversion
26auto result = api->convertLocalToLocal(src, dst);
27
28// Check the result file
29auto re = result->getFile();

Java/Android

The following example demonstrates how to convert Markdown to XPS using Java/Android. A Markdown file located locally is converted to XPS format and subsequently saved to the local file system. You can download the Java/Android SDK from the GitHub repository.

 1Configuration.setBasePath("https://api.aspose.cloud");
 2Configuration.setAuthPath("https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token");
 3
 4HtmlApi api = new HtmlApi("CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET");
 5
 6JobBuilder builder = new ConverterBuilder()
 7                .fromLocalFile("input.md")
 8                .saveToLocal("output.xps");
 9
10OperationResult result = api.convert(builder);

CURL

The following example demonstrates how to convert Markdown to XPS using REST API. A Markdown file located locally is converted to XPS format and subsequently saved to the local file system. Follow a few required steps:

Upload local file to storage using Storage API.
Call REST API to execute conversion (in the example below).
Download conversion result back from storage using Storage API.

1curl -X POST -v \
2	"https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0/html/conversion/md-xps" \
3    -d "{'InputPath': '/testpage.md', 'OutputFile': 'test.xps'}" \
4    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
5    -H "Authorization:Bearer <JWT_token>"

Markdown to XPS conversion occurs with the default conversion options: the resulting XPS document’s width and height correspond to A4, and all margins have zero value.

Example 2. Convert Markdown to XPS with explicitly specified options

The example below demonstrates how to convert an Markdown file from a local file system to XPS with explicitly specified options and save the result back to the local path.

CURL

The following example demonstrates how to convert Markdown to XPS using REST API. Local Markdown converted to XPS and saved to the local file system. Follow a few required steps:

Upload a local file to storage using Storage API.
Call REST API to execute conversion (in the example below).
Download conversion result back from storage using Storage API.

1curl -X POST -v \
2	"https://api.aspose.cloud/v4.0/html/conversion/md-xps" \
3    -d "{'InputPath': '/testpage.md', 'OutputFile': 'test.xps', 'Options': {'Width':1000, 'Height': 800, 'LeftMargin': 10, 'RightMargin': 10, 'TopMargin': 10, 'BottomMargin': 10}}" \
4    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
