Introduction
Welcome to MPXJ! This library enables you to read project plans (sometimes known as schedules or programmes) from a variety of file formats and databases, and can also write that information to a variety of file formats.
The library is based on data structures which follow the way schedule data is represented by Microsoft Project, extended to accommodate features and concepts from other applications.
Sponsors
Work to build and maintain MPXJ is kindly supported by my sponsors:
Head over to my sponsors page if you'd like to see your name and logo here, or if you just want to say thanks you could buy me a coffee!
File Formats
MPXJ can read file formats including MPX, MPP, MSPDI, MPD, Planner, Primavera P6 PMXML and XER, Primavera P3, SureTrak, Asta Powerproject, Asta Easyplan, Phoenix, Fasttrack, GanttProject, TurboProject, ConceptDraw PROJECT, Synchro, Gantt Designer, SDEF, Sage 100 Contractor Schedule Grid, Project Commander and Deltek Open Plan BK3.
MPXJ can also write schedule data as MPX, MSPDI, PMXML, XER, Planner and SDEF files.
More details of the supported file formats can be found here.
Languages
MPXJ is written and maintained in Java, however this is no barrier to using its functionality in other languages. Thanks to IKVM, MPXJ is available for .Net, allowing it to be used from any .Net language.
There is also now a Ruby Gem which provides native Ruby access to read from schedule files using MPXJ, and a Python package which wraps the Java library to provide full read/write access to schedule files.
You may be able to leverage MPXJ from other languages too, for example the PHP/Java Bridge can be used to expose the complete MPXJ API in PHP.
