A library for producing CycloneDX SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) files.
Project description
Python Library for generating CycloneDX
This CycloneDX module for Python can generate valid CycloneDX bill-of-material document containing an aggregate of all project dependencies.
This module is not designed for standalone use. If you're looking for a CycloneDX tool to run to generate (SBOM) software bill-of-materials documents, why not checkout:
Additionally, the following tool can be used as well (and this library was written to help improve it)
Additionally, you can use this module yourself in your application to programmatically generate SBOMs.
CycloneDX is a lightweight BOM specification that is easily created, human-readable, and simple to parse.
Installation
Install from pypi.org as you would any other Python module:
pip install cyclonedx-python-lib
Architecture
This module break out into three key areas:
- Parser: Use a parser that suits your needs to automatically gather information about your environment or application
- Model: 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
Parsing
You can use one of the parsers to obtain information about your project or environment. Available parsers:
| Parser | Class / Import | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Environment | from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser |
Looks at the packaged installed in your current Python environment. |
| PoetryParser | from cyclonedx.parser.poetry import PoetryParser |
Parses poetry.lock content passed in as a string. |
| PoetryFileParser | from cyclonedx.parser.poetry import PoetryFileParser |
Parses the poetry.lock file at the supplied path. |
| RequirementsParser | from cyclonedx.parser.requirements import RequirementsParser |
Parses a multiline string that you provide that conforms to the requirements.txt PEP-508 standard. |
| RequirementsFileParser | from cyclonedx.parser.requirements import RequirementsFileParser |
Parses a file that you provide the path to that conforms to the requirements.txt PEP-508 standard. |
Example
from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser
parser = EnvironmentParser()
Modelling
You can create a BOM Model from either an Parser instance or manually using the methods avaialbel directly on the Bom class.
Example from a Parser
from cyclonedx.model.bom import Bom
from cyclonedx.parser.environment import EnvironmentParser
parser = EnvironmentParser()
bom = Bom.from_parser(parser=parser)
Generating Output
Once you have an instance of a Bom you can produce output in either JSON or XML against any of the supporting CycloneDX schema versions as you require.
We provide two helper methods:
- Output to string (for you to do with as you require)
- Output directly to a filename you provide
Example as JSON
from cyclonedx.output import get_instance, OutputFormat
outputter = get_instance(bom=bom, output_format=OutputFormat.JSON)
outputter.output_as_string()
Example as XML
from cyclonedx.output import get_instance, SchemaVersion
outputter = get_instance(bom=bom, schema_version=SchemaVersion.V1_2)
outputter.output_to_file(filename='/tmp/sbom-v1.2.xml')
Schema Support
This library is a work in progress and complete support for all parts of the CycloneDX schema will come in future releases.
Here is a summary of the parts of the schema supported by this library:
Note: We refer throughout using XPath, but the same is true for both XML and JSON output formats.
| XPath | Support v1.3 | Support v1.2 | Support v1.1 | Support v1.0 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
/bom |
Y | Y | Y | Y | This is the root element and is supported with all it's defined attributes. |
/bom/metadata |
Y | Y | N/A | N/A |
Only timestamp is currently supported
|
/bom/components |
Y | Y | Y | Y | |
/bom/components/component |
|||||
./author |
Y | Y | N/A | N/A | |
./name |
Y | Y | Y | Y | |
./version |
Y | Y | Y | Y | |
./purl |
Y | Y | Y | Y |
Notes on Schema Support
- N/A is where the CycloneDX standard does not include this
- If the table above does not refer to an element, it is not currently supported
Python Support
We endeavour to support all functionality for all current actively supported Python versions. However, some features may not be possible/present in older Python versions due to their lack of support.
