Architecture
This library broadly is separated into three key functional areas:
Parser: Downstream tools may provide concrete implementation of the
cyclonedx.parser.BaseParser
which can easily help you build a Model from your project or ecosystem. For Python specific parser implementations see cyclondex-pythonModel: Internal models used to unify data from different parsers
Output: Choose and configure an output which allows you to define output format as well as the CycloneDX schema version
When wishing to generate a BOM, the process is as follows:
Generated a Model (either programmatically or from a
cyclonedx.parser
Output the Model using an
cyclonedx.output
instance that reflects the schema version and format you require
