PrexView vs Vector Express v2.0
PrexView merges structured XML or JSON payloads with templates built in its visual Studio editor to output PDF, HTML, PNG, or JPG documents. It targets recurring document-generation workloads like invoices and statements, with built-in helpers for charts, barcodes, and QR codes plus SDKs for Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Python.
Vector Express chains together open-source conversion engines (Ghostscript, UniConvertor, libcdr, hp2xx, and others) to translate vector graphics across CAD and illustration formats including AI, DWG, DXF, EPS, and SVG. The core API is free under shared rate limits, while a pay-as-you-go tier removes those limits and raises the file-size ceiling; it sends no CORS headers, so browser calls need a server-side proxy.
