GroupDocs.Parser for .NET 24.2 Release Notes

Full List of Issues Covering all Changes in this Release

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

Implement two NuGet packages

Starting with this version, GroupDocs.Parser is divided into two packages - for .NET Framework and .NET Standard. GroupDocs.Parser for .NET Framework package is recommended for using with .NET Framework projects. GroupDocs.Parser package is designed to work with .NET projects. You need to configure binding redirection to make it work with .NET Framework. For regular .NET Framework project it’s required to enable automatic binding redirection. For unit tests projects you also need to specify GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType in the project file:

<PropertyGroup>
    <AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
    <GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>true</GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>
</PropertyGroup>

Usage

The following example shows how to load the document from the url:

using (Parser parser = new Parser(url))
{
    // Extract a text into the reader
    using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText())
    {
        // Print a text from the document
        // If text extraction isn't supported, a reader is null
        Console.WriteLine(reader == null ? "Text extraction isn't supported" : reader.ReadToEnd());
    }
}
