## What it is
Docxtemplater is a JavaScript library that generates Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), and OpenDocument (.odt) files from templates by replacing {placeholder} tags with JSON data, supporting loops, conditions, and raw XML insertion. It runs in Node.js and the browser, with optional paid modules for images, HTML, charts, tables, and Excel templating.

## Use cases
- generate word documents from templates in nodejs
- fill docx placeholders with  data
- create reports from word templates with loops and conditions
- generate powerpoint presentations from a pptx template
- let non-programmers edit document templates in Word
- generate documents in the browser with react or vue
- produce contract or invoice documents from data
- insert images or html into generated docx files

## When to choose
- you need template-based docx/pptx generation in JavaScript on server or client
- templates should be editable by non-developers in Microsoft Office
- you need loops, conditions, and placeholder replacement in office documents
- you want a mature, well-tested library with a long track record

## When to avoid
- you need xlsx templating, image insertion, or charts without paying for modules
- you need a fully free open-source solution with all features included
- you generate documents from scratch rather than from templates
- you work outside the JavaScript ecosystem
