How to Detect a File Format and Check if the File is Encrypted with JavaScript via C++

Sometimes you need to detect a file’s format before opening it because the file extension does not guarantee that the file content is appropriate. The file might be encrypted (a password-protected file) so it can’t be read directly, or we should not read it. Aspose.Cells for JavaScript via C++ provides the FileFormatUtil.detectFileFormat(Uint8Array) static method and some relevant APIs that you can use to process documents.

The following sample code illustrates how to detect a file format (using the file path) and check its extension. You can also determine whether the file is encrypted.

    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Aspose.Cells File Format Detection Example</h1>
        <input type="file" id="fileInput" accept=".xls,.xlsx,.csv" />
        <button id="runExample">Run Example</button>
        <a id="downloadLink" style="display: none;">Download Result</a>
        <div id="result"></div>
    </body>

    <script src="aspose.cells.js.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        const { Workbook, SaveFormat, Worksheet, Cell, Utils } = AsposeCells;
        
        AsposeCells.onReady({
            license: "/lic/aspose.cells.enc",
            fontPath: "/fonts/",
            fontList: [
                "arial.ttf",
                "NotoSansSC-Regular.ttf"
            ]
        }).then(() => {
            console.log("Aspose.Cells initialized");
        });

        document.getElementById('runExample').addEventListener('click', async () => {
            const fileInput = document.getElementById('fileInput');
            const resultDiv = document.getElementById('result');

            if (!fileInput.files.length) {
                resultDiv.innerHTML = '<p style="color: red;">Please select an Excel file.</p>';
                return;
            }

            const file = fileInput.files[0];
            const arrayBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer();

            // Detect file format
            const info = AsposeCells.FileFormatUtil.detectFileFormat(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));

            // Gets the detected load format (converted getter -> property)
            const extension = AsposeCells.FileFormatUtil.loadFormatToExtension(info.loadFormat);
            const encrypted = info.isEncrypted;

            console.log("The spreadsheet format is: " + extension);
            console.log("The file is encrypted: " + encrypted);

            resultDiv.innerHTML = `<p>The spreadsheet format is: <strong>${extension}</strong></p>
                                   <p>The file is encrypted: <strong>${encrypted}</strong></p>`;
        });
    </script>
