HTML files are one of the most common formats used for sharing content online, thanks to their compatibility with virtually all web browsers and platforms. However, this widespread use also makes them a frequent target for malicious code, such as embedded scripts and harmful JavaScript, which can pose security risks. In contrast, XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a reliable page layout format that preserves the content and appearance of documents, making it a safer and more structured alternative.

  • XPS uses XML to preserve the layout, appearance, and printing information of a document.

Convert HTML to XPS using cURL

Since our APIs are built on REST architecture, they can easily be accessed using cURL commands. In this section, we’ll walk you through how to convert an HTML page to XPS format using a cURL request. The first step is to generate a JWT access token.

 curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
 -X POST \
 -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-8cbca2d15553&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXX" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
 -H "Accept: application/json"

Now upload the input HTML to cloud storage:

curl -X PUT "https://api.aspose.cloud/html/storage/file/source.html" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>" \
-H  "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-d {"File":{}}

Call the API to perform HTML to XPS conversion and save the resultant file to cloud storage.

curl -X PUT "https://api.aspose.cloud/html/source.html/convert/xps?outPath=converted.xps&width=800&height=1000&leftMargin=10&rightMargin=10&topMargin=10&bottomMargin=10" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
