Understanding the Essence of Office Files and PDF Parsing for Frontend Developers
This article explains the historical background, standards, and internal structure of office formats like XLSX, DOCX, PPTX and PDF, and demonstrates how frontend developers can parse these files using XML, ZIP archives, JSZip and browser APIs to extract data or render documents.
// 压缩字符串 function compressString(originalString) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const zip = new JSZip(); zip.file("compressed.txt", originalString); zip.generateAsync({ type: "blob" }) .then(compressedBlob => { const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = () => resolve(reader.result); reader.readAsText(compressedBlob); }) .catch(reject); }); } // 解压缩字符串 function decompressString(compressedString) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const zip = new JSZip(); zip.loadAsync(compressedString) .then(zipFile => { const compressedData = zipFile.file("compressed.txt"); if (compressedData) { return compressedData.async("string"); } else { reject(new Error("Unable to find compressed data in the zip file.")); } }) .then(resolve) .catch(reject); }); } const originalText = "Hello, this is a sample text for compression and decompression with JSZip."; console.log("Original Text:", originalText); compressString(originalText) .then(compressedData => { console.log("Compressed Data:", compressedData); return decompressString(compressedData); }) .then(decompressedText => { console.log("Decompressed Text:", decompressedText); }) .catch(error => { console.error("Error:", error); });
