# Docmosis > Docmosis provides API-first, template-based document generation software that enables teams building custom applications to generate data-driven PDF and Word documents reliably at scale. > > Templates are created in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer by adding plain-text placeholders. JSON or XML data is sent to the API, merged with the template, and the generated document is returned to the calling application. > > Cloud is the primary offering: a fully managed SaaS document generation service with more than a decade of monthly uptime above 99.9%. Tornado is a self-hosted engine for organisations that prefer document generation to run on their own infrastructure. > > Both products use the same template-based approach to generating documents and are integrated with applications using a REST API.
