I am pretty sure you could use the Upload (sync) to upload the .mpp file along with a project id (and whatever other project metadata) then on the server use a library similar to MPJX (http://mpxj.sourceforge.net/) available for .Net and Java to extract the data from the .mpp file and insert into the respective tables.Thanks.

For reference there is an existing company Bryntum that has a control Ext Gantt and in the list of features under General (4th bullet item) states "Export to PDF/PNG, import from MS Project"
Reference page: http://www.bryntum.com/products/gantt/features
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you know of other javascript gantt components which support the import functionality you are requesting? If there are, feel free to provide a reference to be able to research their implementations, thanks.
