Aspose.Words FOSS
Work with Word documents programmatically — free and open-source, no Microsoft Word required. Available for .NET and Python.
Aspose.Words FOSS is a suite of free, MIT-licensed open-source libraries built from the genuine Aspose.Words codebase — the same document engine that has processed Word documents in production since 2003. Every edition in the suite works with DOCX files and converts between DOCX, Markdown, and plain text, with no Microsoft Word or Office installation required.
Individual editions vary in scope, from document format conversion to full programmatic document creation and editing. See each platform’s page below for its specific capabilities and supported formats.
