Description
Generating Word documents in bulk, editing spreadsheets from your own program, or adding a custom import filter to LibreOffice: macros hit a ceiling quickly. The LibreOffice SDK is the front door. It gives you libraries, binaries, headers and IDL files, and through the UNO component model you call the same Office API that LibreOffice itself uses.
Language bindings exist for Java, Python, C++ and Basic, so office automation does not force you to learn a new language. The API is kept stable and only extended with new functions, so components written against an older version generally carry over. The kit also ships API reference documentation, a link to the Developer's Guide and example collections.
Complete Office API: Drive documents, spreadsheets and presentations from an external program, or embed LibreOffice in your own project.
Multiple language bindings: Java, Python, C++ and Basic, on Windows, Linux and other platforms.
Extension components: Add new filters, Calc add-in functions and other components to extend LibreOffice.
Docs and examples: IDL reference, Java and C++ runtime references, and example sets in Java, Python, C++, Basic, OLE and CLI.
Development tools: UNO development tools with descriptions, and an installation guide covering the required environment variables.
