Easily open Word, PDF documents with just a few lines of Swift code. Our Swift library will provide you with everything you need to access document content programmatically.
If you want to open a text file and work with the data in plain-text format, you can do it using the most basic features of the Swift language and operating system. As for reading office documents, presented in a wide variety of file formats (DOCX, DOC, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, etc.), this task is more difficult to solve, since such documents are described by complex tree-like data structures within the DOM model.
Our Swift library is a cloud-based solution that will allow you to open documents in any office and web format. This distributed approach gives you flexibility in software development using Swift language, as all resource-intensive document processing will take place on Aspose servers. All you need is to get private keys to access Cloud API in Swift code.
You can iterate over document elements, or you can search for specific elements in the DOM tree. We provide a wide range of Swift functions both for working with the structure of the document and with the data contained in the document nodes.
The following Swift code example will help you quickly figure out how to load a document and perform some actions on it.
import AsposeWordsCloud
let config = Configuration(clientId: "####-####-####-####-####",
clientSecret: "##################");
let api = try WordsAPI(configuration: config);
let fileName = "Input.docx";
let requestFileContent = InputStream(url: URL(
string: try String(contentsOf: fileName, isDirectory: false)))!;
let uploadDocumentRequest = UploadFileRequest(fileContent: requestFileContent, path: fileName);
_ = try api.uploadFile(request: uploadDocumentRequest);
let requestParagraph = ParagraphInsert()
.setText(text: "Reading and writing to the file in the cloud occurs automatically.");
let insertParagraphRequest = InsertParagraphRequest(name: fileName, paragraph: requestParagraph);
_ = try api.insertParagraph(request: insertParagraphRequest);
let downloadDocumentRequest = DownloadFileRequest(path: fileName);
_ = try api.downloadFile(request: downloadDocumentRequest);You can use Swift package manager and Cocoapods dependency manager to install Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Swift. Detailed information on installing the package is given in the "Installation and Usage" section.
