The resources below pertaining to Office OpenXML formats provide an excellent introduction on how to create and manipulate the XML components that compose Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents. To get started with OpenXML and MarkLogic, review the document components as well as general XML and code examples.

However, please note that each version of Microsoft Office introduces new namespaces and new XML elements, and Office applications can change how they produce and consume XML as well. As a result, you may need to update the examples to work with versions of Microsoft Office after 2010. In addition, MarkLogic continues to introduce new tools and programming languages that are useful in working with these documents, but the fundamentals demonstrated here remain the same.

Beyond enabling re-use of Microsoft Office® content via MarkLogic-based applications, these resources can help you:

  • expose this content via powerful MarkLogic search functionality
  • enrich or modify existing content
  • create new content
  • expose new functionality in the GUI of the original Office application
