Dependencies

OfficeIMO.Word and OfficeIMO.Excel depend on:

  • DocumentFormat.OpenXml ([3.5.1, 4.0.0)) — The Microsoft Open XML SDK.
  • OfficeIMO.Core — The zero-dependency shared lifecycle, package-safety, data-mapping, color, image, and drawing foundation used by the document packages.

OfficeIMO.Word and OfficeIMO.Excel also use a compatibility helper on older targets:

  • Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces (10.0.9) — Async interface compatibility for netstandard2.0 and net472.

OfficeIMO.Excel additionally uses System.Text.Json ([10.0.7,11.0.0)) for JSON support on netstandard2.0 and net472.

OfficeIMO.Word.Html uses the first-party OfficeIMO.Html package, which depends on:

  • AngleSharp (1.5.2) — HTML parsing and DOM manipulation.
  • AngleSharp.Css (1.0.0-beta.216) — CSS parsing for style mapping.

OfficeIMO.Pdf depends on the first-party OfficeIMO.Core and OfficeIMO.Security packages. OfficeIMO.Security brings BouncyCastle.Cryptography ([2.6.2,3.0.0)) for cryptographic and signature support.

OfficeIMO.CSV uses System.Buffers (4.5.1) on netstandard2.0 and .NET Framework compatibility targets. OfficeIMO.Markdown has no third-party runtime dependency beyond the .NET runtime and first-party OfficeIMO.Core package.
