Aspose for Java APIs Comparison with Apache POI

Aspose provides a wide range of Java APIs for developers to create and manage various types of applications that deal with files and different formats. Aspose facilitates the Java developers with Aspose.Total which includes following easy to use, efficient and separately downloadable components:


- Aspose.Cells to deal with Microsoft Excel® and OpenOffice spreadsheets.
- Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice documents.
- Aspose.Slides for Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentation files.
- Aspose.Pdf to create and manipulate PDF documents.
- Aspose.BarCode for generation and recognition of barcodes.
- Aspose.Tasks to deal with Microsoft Project®.
- Aspose.Email to read and write email messages in various formats without Microsoft Outlook.
- Aspose.OCR for optical character and marker recognition.
- Aspose.Imaging to create, edit, draw and convert images.


The Apache POI Project’s mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon the Office Open XML standards (OOXML) and Microsoft’s OLE 2 Compound Document format (OLE2). You can read and write Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint files using Java. For each Microsoft Office application there exists a component module that attempts to provide a common high level Java API to both OLE2 and OOXML document formats.


- This is most developed for Excel workbooks (SS=HSSF+XSSF).
- Work is progressing for Word documents (HWPF+XWPF) and PowerPoint presentations (HSLF+XSLF).


Project Aspose for Apache POI shows how different functionalities can be achieved using Aspose Java APIs in comparison with Apache POI. Examples with their source codes are hosted on CodePlex, GitHub, Bitbucket and SourceForge.
