OfficeTalk .NET Library
A .NET 9 library for parsing and validating OfficeTalk documents — a grammar for deterministic modifications to Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Features
- Parse OfficeTalk documents into a typed AST
- Validate against syntactic rules (grammar-level checks, conflict detection)
Installation
dotnet add package SpecWorks.OfficeTalk
Quick Start
Parse an OfficeTalk Document
using OfficeTalk.Parsing;
var source = @"
OFFICETALK/1.0
DOCTYPE word
AT body/heading[level=1]
SET ""Annual Report — FY2026""
FORMAT font-size=28pt, color=#1F3864
AT body/paragraph[text*=""teh company""]
REPLACE ""teh"" WITH ""the""
";
var lexer = new OfficeTalkLexer(source);
var tokens = lexer.Tokenize();
var parser = new OfficeTalkParser(tokens);
var document = parser.Parse();
Console.WriteLine($"Version: {document.Version}");
Console.WriteLine($"DocType: {document.DocType}");
Console.WriteLine($"Blocks: {document.OperationBlocks.Count}");
Validate an OfficeTalk Document
using OfficeTalk.Validation;
var syntacticValidator = new SyntacticValidator();
var result = syntacticValidator.Validate(document);
if (!result.IsValid)
{
foreach (var error in result.Errors)
Console.Error.WriteLine(error);
}
