CycloneDX
CycloneDX JavaScript Library
Core functionality of CycloneDX for JavaScript (Node.js or WebBrowsers), written in TypeScript and compiled for the target.
Responsibilities
- Provide a general purpose JavaScript-implementation of CycloneDX for Node.js and WebBrowsers.
- Provide typing for said implementation, so developers and dev-tools can rely on it.
- Provide data models to work with CycloneDX.
- Provide JSON- and XML-normalizers, that...
- supports all shipped data models.
- respects any injected CycloneDX Specification and generates valid output according to it.
- can be configured to generate reproducible/deterministic output.
- can prepare data structures for JSON- and XML-serialization.
- Serialization:
- Provide a universal JSON-serializer for all target environments.
- Provide an XML-serializer for all target environments.
- Support the downstream implementation of custom XML-serializers tailored to specific environments
by providing an abstract base class that takes care of normalization and BomRef-discrimination.
This is done, because there is no universal XML support in JavaScript.
- Provide formal JSON- and XML-validators according to CycloneDX Specification. (currently for Node.js only)

- Create data models from any license descriptor string
- Create
PackageURLfromComponentdata models - Specific to Node.js: create data models from PackageJson-like data structures and derived data
- Builders for the following use cases:
- Specific to Node.js: create deep data models
ToolorComponentfrom PackageJson-like data structures
- Specific to Node.js: create deep data models
- Implementation of the CycloneDX Specification for the following versions:
1.61.51.41.31.2
- Normalizers that convert data models to JSON structures
- Normalizers that convert data models to XML structures
- Universal serializer that converts
Bomdata models to JSON string - Specific Serializer that converts
Bomdata models to XML string:- Specific to WebBrowsers: implementation utilizes browser-specific document generators and printers.
- Specific to Node.js: implementation utilizes optional dependencies as described below
- Formal validators for JSON string and XML string (currently for Node.js only)
Requires optional dependencies as described below

Usage
See extended examples.
As Node.js package
const CDX = require('@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library')
const bom = new CDX.Models.Bom()
bom.metadata.component = new CDX.Models.Component(
CDX.Enums.ComponentType.Application,
'MyProject'
)
const componentA = new CDX.Models.Component(
CDX.Enums.ComponentType.Library,
'myComponentA',
)
bom.components.add(componentA)
bom.metadata.component.dependencies.add(componentA.bomRef)In WebBrowsers
<script src="path-to-this-package/dist.web/lib.js"></script>
<script type="application/javascript">
const CDX = CycloneDX_library
let bom = new CDX.Models.Bom()
bom.metadata.component = new CDX.Models.Component(
CDX.Enums.ComponentType.Application,
'MyProject'
)
const componentA = new CDX.Models.Component(
CDX.Enums.ComponentType.Library,
'myComponentA',
)
bom.components.add(componentA)
bom.metadata.component.dependencies.add(componentA.bomRef)

We ship annotated type definitions, so that your IDE and tools may pick up the documentation when you use this library downstream.
There are also pre-rendered documentations hosted on readthedocs.
