Office Open XML Parser
This parser can be used to compare Office Open XML documents, usually named Microsoft Word docx. The parser output is similar to an PDF conversion of the document, but extended for the semantic data of the original document.
The Office Open XML Feature is partially based on open source components and will be continuously improved.
Supported Features
This parser component is developed according to the Office Open XML specification 'ECMA-376-1'. In cases where the specification is ambiguous, Microsoft Word 2019 is used as a reference. In case a document was created by another application the rendering result may be slightly different compared to the source application.
