Advanced Document Parsing API for .NET
Important Note: Starting from 24.2.0, the GroupDocs.Parser package has been split into two distinct platform packages: .NET Standard and .NET Framework. The GroupDocs.Parser package is specifically designed to support the .NET Standard platform, making it compatible with .NET Core, .NET 5, .NET 6, etc. It includes backward compatibility improvements, allowing it to function with .NET Framework versions starting from 4.6.2. In addition, we have introduced the GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework package, which is optimized to run seamlessly in the .NET Framework runtime because it includes all the GroupDocs product libraries in their respective .NET Framework versions. It is tailored specifically for .NET Framework users and offers better dependency resolution for those utilizing the .NET Framework. We hope these changes will enhance your experience and provide a more streamlined approach to using the GroupDocs.Parser package.

GroupDocs.Parser vs GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework
The list of features for both versions, GroupDocs.Parser (for .NET Standard) and GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework (for .NET Framework), is generally the same in terms of core functionality. Both versions offer advanced capabilities such as text extraction, metadata extraction, image extraction, and parsing of complex document structures across a wide range of document formats like PDFs, Word, Excel, and more.
However, the key differences lie in their compatibility and performance optimizations:
- GroupDocs.Parser: This version is tailored for .NET Standard and is compatible with .NET Core, .NET 5, .NET 6, and later versions. It is designed to be cross-platform, working across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
- GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework: This version is optimized specifically for the .NET Framework environment. It includes all the necessary libraries specifically built for .NET Framework, ensuring better dependency management and performance within this environment. This version is ideal for developers working with legacy .NET Framework projects.
GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework is a powerful and specialized .NET API designed for developers working exclusively within the .NET Framework environment. This package offers advanced text, metadata, and image extraction capabilities across a wide range of document formats including PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Optimized for seamless integration into .NET Framework projects, GroupDocs.Parser.NETFramework provides robust parsing features such as template-based data extraction, OCR support, and the ability to handle complex document structures. It includes all necessary libraries for the .NET Framework, ensuring smooth operation without the need for additional configurations. Ideal for developers seeking high performance and precision in document parsing within legacy .NET Framework applications.

GroupDocs.Parser for .NET Coding Samples
Code Sample 1: Extracting Text from a PDF Document
This code loads a PDF file (sample.pdf
) and extracts its text content using the GetText()
method. The extracted text is then displayed in the console.
using GroupDocs.Parser;
using GroupDocs.Parser.Options;
public class ExtractTextFromPdf
{
public static void Run()
{
// Load the PDF document
using (Parser parser = new Parser("sample.pdf"))
{
// Extract text from the document
string text = parser.GetText();
// Output the extracted text
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
}
}
Code Sample 2: Extracting Images from a Word Document
This code loads a Word document (sample.docx
) and extracts all images found within the document. Each image is saved as a separate PNG file.
using GroupDocs.Parser;
using GroupDocs.Parser.Data;
public class ExtractImagesFromWord
{
public static void Run()
{
// Load the Word document
using (Parser parser = new Parser("sample.docx"))
{
// Get images from the document
IEnumerable<PageImageArea> images = parser.GetImages();
// Save each image to a file
int imageNumber = 1;
foreach (PageImageArea image in images)
{
image.Save($"image{imageNumber++}.png");
}
}
}
}
