Get supported file formats
GroupDocs.Parser allows to get the list of all the supported file formats by the GetSupportedFileTypes static method:
IEnumerable<FileType> FileType.GetSupportedFileTypes();
This method returns a collection of FileType items with the following members:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| FileFormat | File type name e.g. “Microsoft Word Document”. |
| Extension | Filename suffix (including the period “.") e.g. “.doc”. |
Also FileType contains static fields that represent all the supported file formats.
Here are the steps to get all the supported file formats:
- Call GetSupportedFileTypes static method and obtain a collection of FileType objects;
- Iterate through the collection and get FileFormat or Extension of FileType.
The following example shows how to print all the supported file types:
IEnumerable<FileType> supportedFileTypes = FileType.GetSupportedFileTypes();
foreach (FileType fileType in supportedFileTypes)
{
Console.WriteLine(fileType);
}
