CycloneDX v1.6 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 the BOM conforms to.


Example:

"1.6"

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 is 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

Lifecycles communicate the stage(s) in which data in the BOM was captured. Different types of data may be available at various phases of a lifecycle, such as the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Software Asset Management (SAM). Thus, a BOM may include data specific to or only obtainable in a given lifecycle.

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.

Must be one of:

  • "design" :

    BOM produced early in the development lifecycle containing an 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.

  • "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.

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.

  • "data" :

    A collection of discrete values that convey information.

  • "cryptographic-asset" :

    A cryptographic asset including algorithms, protocols, certificates, keys, tokens, and secrets.

"Acme Software License"

Type: enum (of string)

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Component pedigree is a way to document complex supply chain scenarios where components are created, distributed, modified, redistributed, combined with other components, etc. Pedigree supports viewing this complex chain from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in the middle. It also provides a way to document variants where the exact relation may not be known.

However, Component B contains a pedigree node with a single ancestor documenting Component A - the original component from which Component B is derived from.

Example:

"Apache-2.0"

Type: string

If SPDX does not define the license used, this field may be used to provide the license name


Example:

"Acme Software License"

Type: enum (of string)

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

Must be one of:

  • "declared" :

    Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.

Type: enum (of string)

Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk management. Observed licenses are defined in @.evidence.licenses. Observed licenses form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

    Declared licenses represent the initial intentions of authors regarding the licensing terms of their code.
