I have a project in where i need to write documents in a webeditor like the new googledocs,
I know that google docs doesnt support editing and saving the documents on my own server.
My question is :
There is any similar version of the new google docs payable or in any other licence that permits me to edit a document in an editor like the new google docs where can i save the content editable in my own db ,writen in any web programming language ?
thanks in advance!
If I understand you mean to say you need exactly as Google Docs? - Like Uploading doc downloading doc kind of.
We can do it in jquery

is free or commercial Google Docs Viewer?
google Viewer API: https://docs.google.com/viewer
my example file: https://dornsife.usc.edu/assets/sites/298/docs/ir211wk12sample.xls
together
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://dornsife.usc.edu/assets/sites/298/docs/ir211wk12sample.xls" title="preview my file on nav "></iframe>
Does it have documentation?
could like to use in my web app but I need documentation or price or limited use?
The only API from Google which interacts with a file in your Drive is Google Drive API and sadly, there is no such thing as Docs Viewer API.
In fact, the "Docs Viewer" is merely a URL which allows you to preview a document while passing the link of a file to it.
I have taken the opportunity to report this on Google's Issue Tracker here and I suggest you star it as any updates regarding this will be posted there.
So, a quick background. I make productivity apps (specifically CRM and Project Management). And I love the docs, spreadsheet and presentation products made by Google. Not surprisingly, my products have done a lot of "things" with Google Docs for a long time:
Create "native" (ie. Docs/Spreadsheets/Presentations) documents
Use native documents as templates
Link and modify permissions of any file in Docs/Drive
Upload any arbitrary file
etc.
What I'm confused about is what does Google want me to do on the labels on the buttons in my app. Right now, they all say "Google Docs". You're linking any arbitrary file to a presentation, you're linking it from "Google Docs". You're exporting a spreadsheet of time sheet entries, you're exporting it to "Google Docs". You upload a PDF, you uploaded it to Google Docs. Etc.
What I'm confused about is that, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it is a complete switch over to "Drive." I still see labels on the Google site for Google Docs. So, this is what I think the breakdown is:
If it is a Google "native" file, then it is Docs, else it is Drive. Thus, if your uploading any arbitrary file, that button should refer to drive. But if you are exporting a spreadsheet of data to the Google Spreadsheets format, then that is Docs.
Is this right at all? Does Google have some information somewhere?
Disclaimer: personal opinion
I would use Drive everywhere, except when specifically talking about the collaborative word processor provided in Google Drive, that is the Google Doc.
I would also make sure that all my integrations use the new Google Drive API.
There is reasonably good guidance here: https://developers.google.com/drive/branding
Google Docs and Google Drive are two seperate products from Google. They can work together, but they are still their own individual products and should be called their respective names when being used
I'm just beginning with programming, but i wanted to know if it's possible to use google docs api to make documents on another site using the google docs text editor?
Is there some sort of way i can put the google docs text editor onto a website so that we can use that for document creation instead of tiny mce?
Basically the functionality needed would be documents created, openly shared, a postable version of it (take html code) -- so it can go on the document display page, and
Of course there would be google login and everything, but i just wanted to see if this would work.
No, that is not possible, sorry.
Following the API's description :
"The Google Documents List API allows developers to create, retrieve, update, and delete Google Docs"
What if I need to write something in a table using an external application?
This is totally and completely possible. For example, I am using python to create and update Google Doc Spreadsheets based on what the user does. There are multiple languages for you to choose from and all are fairly well documented.
I'm designing a new app for iPad for a small company. This app will use Core Data to store a local database and a database of products and prices. The last database needs to be always up to date since the prices can change.
This company, has a Excel file to keep this database of prices. So they don't have a SQL db to which I can interact from my app.
One option could be to export the Excel file in CVS and put that file in their server (accessible by internet). Then my app should parse the file.
I don't like very much this idea, though.
Do you have any suggestion?
I had a very similar problem to you. I recently got into a project where the client wanted to import information from an Excel file into an app. I know a lot of people say, just transform it into a CSV and parse it that way, but I really didn't want the client to go through yet another step and introduce a different file format - as simple as that may be.
I also really don't like having the information in the cloud, especially Google. Privacy is something that's important to most companies and I'd doubt they'd approve of you using Google to parse the info.
In order to parse the file, I created QZXLSReader. It's a drag-and-drop solution so it's a lot easier to use. I don't think it's as feature complete, but it worked for me.
It's basically a library that can open XLS files and parse them into Obj-C classes. Once you have the classes, it's very easy to send them to Core Data or a dictionary or what have you.
I hope it helps!
Here are a couple of options for you:
Use Google Doc as the intermediary. When the pricing Excel is updated by someone, simply upload the updated Excel to Google Docs. From your iPad app, you can read the latest data via the Goole API. If the company is up for it, they can move to Google Doc altogether and just modify the online Google Spreadsheet directly.
Use services like StackMob as the intermediary. You will have to write a tool to sync the pricing Excel with SrackMob but you can easily access the data via StackMob's iOS SDK.
