How to get comments from a Word DOCX document hierarchically in Java

Need a quick way to extract comments from a DOCX file? Look no further. We can get this done easily, and it’s only going to take a couple of minutes of your time.

First order of business, installation of our library. We can do this by adding two references to our POM file.

Repository:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Dependency:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.Cloudmersive</groupId>
    <artifactId>Cloudmersive.APIClient.Java</artifactId>
    <version>v3.34</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

With that done, we can move on to invoking editDocumentDocxGetCommentsHierarchical:

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.EditDocumentApi;
ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");
EditDocumentApi apiInstance = new EditDocumentApi();
GetDocxGetCommentsHierarchicalRequest reqConfig = new GetDocxGetCommentsHierarchicalRequest(); // GetDocxGetCommentsHierarchicalRequest | Document input request
try {
GetDocxCommentsHierarchicalResponse result = apiInstance.editDocumentDocxGetCommentsHierarchical(reqConfig);
System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
System.err.println("Exception when calling EditDocumentApi#editDocumentDocxGetCommentsHierarchical");
e.printStackTrace();
}

Well would you believe it, we are done. All of our comments are now at our disposal with their hierarchies intact.
