We are trying to create a Visio project file and to process it with an external tool to generate a json file that a web app can read to create a decision tree based on the json contents.

We know about 3rd parties to automate MS Word files but no idea if there are others dealing with Visio files.

Google didn't return anything valid as per Automation it always returns links to how to program macros on it.

Any help will be appreciated.

There are many ways to automate Visio: macros, .net plugins, python, pascal, even windows powershell.

But if your final aim is getting Visio to the web, you may try the following link.

The tool exports the drawing to an SVG embedded in an HTML file with Javascript functionality. Definitely worth a look.
