About:
libvisio is a library designed to parse and interpret Microsoft Visio diagram files, converting them into usable data structures. It enables developers to extract content, metadata, and structural information from VSD and VSDX formats without requiring Microsoft Visio. This tool is essential for integrating Visio document processing capabilities into open-source applications and workflows.
Key Features:
  • Parses binary (VSD) and XML-based (VSDX) Visio formats
  • Extracts text, shapes, and metadata from diagrams
  • Provides a C++ API for integration into custom applications
  • Part of the Document Liberation Project ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Building document conversion tools for content migration
  • Integrating Visio file support into open-source office suites
  • Automating the extraction of data from technical diagrams
Alternatives:
  • Aspose.Words – Commercial, cross-platform library supporting many formats, but requires a paid license.
  • Apache POI – Java library for Microsoft formats, but offers limited support for Visio files compared to libvisio.
