VDX Viewer - Open Visio XML Drawings on Android

VDX is the XML-based drawing format that Microsoft Visio used between its 2003 and 2010 releases. The file is text underneath, yet the XML only describes shapes, connectors and layout; turning that description into a readable diagram still requires Visio, which does not exist for Android.

The cloud performs that step instead. One REST call returns the VDX drawing as HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG, ready for an Android app to display with zoom, thumbnails and page navigation. Individual pages of a multi-page drawing can be requested alone.

The Android route is the Java SDK, added by a single build dependency from Maven or Gradle and illustrated by code samples. Every endpoint is exposed in the API Explorer for interactive testing, and a free trial covers work on your own diagrams.

For occasional files, the free GroupDocs.Viewer app online opens VDX drawings in a browser. Old project archives often mix VDX with newer Visio formats; those render through the same API too, alongside more than 180 other document types.
