visio-json-export 0.1.0

Helps to process Visio JSON Exports in your Python projects.

VisioJsonExport

JSON export that follows the Visio object model. Allows you to process a document without a Visio application.

The export does only contain specific data like:

• User defined cells
• Properties
• Connections

The export does not contain common data like:

• Regular ShapeSheet cells (positions, colors, etc.)

In future we can extend data as reuired.

Usage

Export in .NET

For export we provide a NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Geradeaus.VisioJsonExport

Geradeaus.VisioJsonExport.ExportHandler exportHandler = new Geradeaus.VisioJsonExport.ExportHandler(Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument);
exportHandler.Parse();
exportHandler.Export(@"C:\Temp\VisioExport.json");

Process in Python

For processing in Python we provide a package on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/visio-json-export

import visio_json_export

visio = visio_json_export.load_file(r'C:\Temp\VisioExport.json')

for page in visio.document.pages.values():
    for shape in page.shapes.values():
        for row_name, user in shape.user_rows.items():
            print(page.name + ' -> ' + shape.name + ' -> ' + row_name + ' = ' + user.value)
        for prop in shape.prop_rows.values():
            print(page.name + ' -> ' + shape.name + ' -> ' + prop.label + ' = ' + prop.value)
