Text Control Announces New Cloud Product: ReportingCloud
Text Control ReportingCloud exposes the MailMerge reporting engine as a RESTful Web API, enabling document generation from any platform. It merges MS Word compatible templates with JSON data, features an HTML5 browser-based template editor, and offers an admin portal for management.
The Text Control reporting engine MailMerge can be used in Windows Forms, WPF and ASP.NET applications. Our new product Text Control ReportingCloud brings the complete reporting functionality into the Cloud and makes it accessible for all platforms and programming languages using a highly available RESTful Web API.
The Text Control ReportingCloud Web API is used to merge MS Word compatible templates with JSON data from all clients such as .NET, Javascript, PHP, Node.JS, jQuery, Ruby, Python, Android, Java, iOS and many more.
Admin Portal
The admin portal allows developers to manage, upload, download and create templates and JSON datasource excerpts. It also gives an overview of recent transactions and account settings.
Edit Templates Online - Cross-browser, Cross-platform
MS Word compatible templates can be created and edited online using an HTML5-based editor directly in any browser. Datasource excerpt JSON files can be uploaded to insert matching merge fields, repeating merge blocks and to preview the template directly.
Templates can be edited using any browser on any platform: Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge and Safari.
Create Documents from Anywhere
Invoices, quotes or any other dynamic documents can be created from any application: Desktop, web or mobile. Whether creating an iPhone, Android, Windows Phone or web app - using Text Control ReportingCloud, professional documents can be created with one simple Web API call. The Web API endpoints enable developers to manage templates and to create documents.
MS Word compatible templates can be created and stored in the ReportingCloud storage. These templates can be merged with JSON data using simple Http Web API calls. No need to install TX Text Control on your servers, machines or devices.
Web API Wrappers
We will provide wrappers for many programming languages and platforms such as .NET, Ruby and PHP. Using these wrappers, developers don't need to do the Http requests, but simply use ready-to-use wrapper classes to manage templates and to merge documents.

A release date is not known yet, but stay tuned for more details, Web API references, sample applications and pricing.
Cloud
Are we moving to the cloud? This question is changing from "if" to "when" and "how". Text Control ReportingCloud brings complete reporting functionality to the cloud so all developers can use it, irrespective of the platform or language they're using. Its highly RESTful API can be used to merge Microsoft Word compatible templates with JSON data from all clients including .NET, Javascript, PHP, Node.JS, jQuery, Ruby, Python, Android, Java and iOS.
