Carbone

Carbone is a report generation tool that allows users to create dynamic documents using a template-based system. It uses JSON data to populate templates and then merges the data and template to produce documents such as PDFs, spreadsheets, and other formats. This software is designed to automate the document generation process, significantly reducing the time needed to produce customized reports and documents.

Key features of Carbone:

  • JSON data to populate templates that are designed in office suite software.
  • Dynamic Data Binding: Carbone can replace placeholders in documents with actual data, allowing for dynamic report generation​.
  • Multiple Operations: The software enables operations such as field replacement, data formatting, repeating document portions, looping through nested arrays, and conditional data display​.
  • Support for Various Formats: Carbone supports a wide range of input template formats such as XML, HTML, ODT, ODS, DOCX, XLSX, and more, as well as multiple output file formats including PDF, DOC, TXT, JPG, PNG, CSV, etc​.

These features are designed to make it easy to integrate Carbone into existing systems and automate the report generation process.
