How To: Read Edraw Project EDPX files

Edraw Project is an easy to use tool which allows users to rapidly create and maintain professional looking project plans.

Reading Edraw Project files

The simplest way to read an Edraw Project file is to use the UniversalProjectReader:

JavaC#

package org.mpxj.howto.read;

import org.mpxj.ProjectFile;
import org.mpxj.reader.UniversalProjectReader;

public class OpenPlan
{
    public void read() throws Exception
    {
        UniversalProjectReader reader = new UniversalProjectReader();
        ProjectFile project = reader.read("my-sample.edpx");
    }
}

using MPXJ.Net;

namespace MPXJ.Samples.HowToRead;

public class OpenPlan
{
    public void Read()
    {
        var reader = new UniversalProjectReader();
        var project = reader.Read("my-sample.edpx");
    }
}

You can work directly with the EdrawProjectReader by replacing UniversalProjectReader with EdrawProjectReader, although this offers no particular advantage as there are no additional configuration settings available on the EdrawProjectReader class.
