how to build a simple document converter program in rust language ,which convert ppt to doc or vice versa . what all necessary things are needed for this.. ?
Microsoft Office formats have a reputation of being hard to work with, so it doesn't seem like a simple task to me.
If you're familiar with these formats, then you could do it the hard way, and write a parser from scratch, reading them byte by byte.
For pptx/docx, you need xml and zip processing.
There are some existing libraries for these formats, e.g.
oox — Rust library // Lib.rs Docx — Rust parser // Lib.rs docx-rs — Rust parser // Lib.rs ‘dotext’ search // Lib.rs
