<h3>POI-HSLF</h3>
</div>
<p>HSLF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Powerpoint '97(-2007) file format. </p>
<p>HSLF provides a way to read, create or modify PowerPoint presentations. In particular, it provides:
</p>
<ul>
<li>api for data extraction (text, pictures, embedded objects, sounds)</li>
<li>usermodel api for creating, reading and modifying ppt files</li>
</ul>
<div class="frame note">
<div class="label">Note</div>
<div class="content">
This code currently lives the
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/poi/trunk/src/scratchpad/">scratchpad area</a>
of the POI SVN repository.
Ensure that you have the scratchpad jar or the scratchpad
build area in your classpath before experimenting with
this code - the main POI jar is not enough.
</div>
</div>
<p>The <a href="./quick-guide.html">quick guide</a> documentation provides
information on using this API. Comments and fixes gratefully accepted on the POI
dev mailing lists.</p>

<div class="h3">
<h3>POI-XSLF</h3>
</div>
<p>
XSLF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the PowerPoint 2007 OOXML (.xlsx) file format.
Whilst HSLF and XSLF provide similar features, there is not a common interface across the two of them at this time.
</p>
<p>
Please note that XSLF is still in early development and is a subject to incompatible changes in future.
</p>
<p>
A quick guide is available in the <a href="./xslf-cookbook.html">XSLF Cookbook</a>
