Introduction

What is it?

FluentWriter is a .NET library for generating Word (.docx) documents. At it's core, it is a library that builds on top of the Office Open XML (OOXML) SDK provided by Microsoft. This SDK is extremely powerful but it is too low level for most users who are just looking to programmatically create a document. FluentWriter instead focuses on developer experience by providing a fluent API for scaffolding documents in common language.

Inspiration

FluentWriter is inspired from QuestPDF - a modern C# library for generating PDF documents. In fact, both libraries share similar functions and properties.

Implementation

FluentWriter's minimal API makes it incredibly easy to create and prototype Word documents. Here's a simple example that demonstrates its intuitive syntax:

// TODO: Copy example from code-base when feature set is finalized.

This code generates a PDF document with the following layout:
