Open a DOC file in Swift

The task of reading DOC documents is the task of reading hierarchical data structures within the DOM model. This implies knowing the format of each individual DOC data element, including all of its possible child elements and attributes.

Our Swift library is a cloud-based solution that will allow you to open DOC files for reading and writing easily. This distributed approach gives you flexibility in software development using Swift language, as all resource-intensive DOC document processing will take place on Aspose servers. All you need is to get private keys to access Cloud API in Swift code.

Programmatically read DOC documents in Swift

You can iterate over all elements of a DOC document or you can search for specific elements in a DOM tree. We provide a wide range of Swift functions both for working with the structure of the DOC file and with the data contained in the document nodes.

The following code example will help you quickly figure out how to load a DOC file using Swift and perform some actions on it.

Upload a document you want to access
Run code
import AsposeWordsCloud

let config = Configuration(clientId: "####-####-####-####-####", 
   clientSecret: "##################");
let api = try WordsAPI(configuration: config);
let fileName = "Input.doc";

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);
