CycloneDX v1.5 JSON Reference

Type: object
No Additional Properties

Type: enum (of string)

Specifies the format of the BOM. This helps to identify the file as CycloneDX since BOMs do not have a filename convention nor does JSON schema support namespaces. This value MUST be "CycloneDX".

Must be one of:

  • "CycloneDX"

Type: string

The version of the CycloneDX specification a BOM conforms to (starting at version 1.2).


Example:

"1.5"

Type: string

Every BOM generated SHOULD have a unique serial number, even if the contents of the BOM have not changed over time. If specified, the serial number MUST conform to RFC-4122. Use of serial numbers are RECOMMENDED.

Must match regular expression: ^urn:uuid:[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$
Example:

"urn:uuid:3e671687-395b-41f5-a30f-a58921a69b79"

Type: integer Default: 1

Whenever an existing BOM is modified, either manually or through automated processes, the version of the BOM SHOULD be incremented by 1. When a system is presented with multiple BOMs with identical serial numbers, the system SHOULD use the most recent version of the BOM. The default version is '1'.

Value must be greater or equal to 1


Example:

1

Type: object

Provides additional information about a BOM.

No Additional Properties

Type: stringFormat: date-time

The date and time (timestamp) when the BOM was created.

Type: array of object
No Additional Items

Each item of this array must be:


The product lifecycle(s) that this BOM represents.

Type: object
No Additional Properties

Type: enum (of string)

A pre-defined phase in the product lifecycle.

  • design = BOM produced early in the development lifecycle containing inventory of components and services that are proposed or planned to be used. The inventory may need to be procured, retrieved, or resourced prior to use.
  • pre-build = BOM consisting of information obtained prior to a build process and may contain source files and development artifacts and manifests. The inventory may need to be resolved and retrieved prior to use.
  • build = BOM consisting of information obtained during a build process where component inventory is available for use. The precise versions of resolved components are usually available at this time as well as the provenance of where the components were retrieved from.
  • post-build = BOM consisting of information obtained after a build process has completed and the resulting components(s) are available for further analysis. Built components may exist as the result of a CI/CD process, may have been installed or deployed to a system or device, and may need to be retrieved or extracted from the system or device.
  • operations = BOM produced that represents inventory that is running and operational. This may include staging or production environments and will generally encompass multiple SBOMs describing the applications and operating system, along with HBOMs describing the hardware that makes up the system. Operations Bill of Materials (OBOM) can provide full-stack inventory of runtime environments, configurations, and additional dependencies.
  • discovery = BOM consisting of information observed through network discovery providing point-in-time enumeration of embedded, on-premise, and cloud-native services such as server applications, connected devices, microservices, and serverless functions.
  • decommission = BOM containing inventory that will be, or has been retired from operations.

Must be one of:

  • "design"
  • "pre-build"
  • "build"
  • "post-build"
  • "operations"
  • "discovery"
  • "decommission"

No Additional Items

Each item of this array must be:

Type: object
No Additional Properties

Type: enum (of string)

Specifies the type of component. For software components, classify as application if no more specific appropriate classification is available or cannot be determined for the component. Types include:

  • application = A software application. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software for information about applications.
  • framework = A software framework. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework for information on how frameworks vary slightly from libraries.
  • library = A software library. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_(computing)
    for information about libraries. All third-party and open source reusable components will likely be a library. If the library also has key features of a framework, then it should be classified as a framework. If not, or is unknown, then specifying library is RECOMMENDED.
  • container = A packaging and/or runtime format, not specific to any particular technology, which isolates software inside the container from software outside of a container through virtualization technology. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-level_virtualization
  • platform = A runtime environment which interprets or executes software. This may include runtimes such as those that execute bytecode or low-code/no-code application platforms.
  • operating-system = A software operating system without regard to deployment model (i.e. installed on physical hardware, virtual machine, image, etc) Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system
  • device = A hardware device such as a processor, or chip-set. A hardware device containing firmware SHOULD include a component for the physical hardware itself, and another component of type 'firmware' or 'operating-system' (whichever is relevant), describing information about the software running on the device.
    See also the list of known device properties.
  • device-driver = A special type of software that operates or controls a particular type of device. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver
  • firmware = A special type of software that provides low-level control over a devices hardware. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware
  • file = A computer file. Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_file for information about files.
  • machine-learning-model = A model based on training data that can make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so.
  • data = A collection of discrete values that convey information.

Must be one of:

  • "application"
  • "framework"
  • "library"

Type: string

The optional mime-type of the component. When used on file components, the mime-type can provide additional context about the kind of file being represented such as an image, font, or executable. Some library or framework components may also have an associated mime-type.
