About:
cdxgen is a powerful command-line tool that generates CycloneDX Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) for over 20 different programming languages and ecosystems. It automatically detects project dependencies and creates standardized SBOMs in JSON or XML format, supporting vulnerability analysis and supply chain compliance.
|
Key Features:
- Multi-language support for 20+ ecosystems including Node.js, Python, Java, Go, and Rust
- Automatic dependency detection and graph generation
- Supports multiple SBOM formats (CycloneDX, SPDX) and output formats (JSON, XML)
- Integration with vulnerability databases for enriched security data
- Container and container-less scanning capabilities
|
Use Cases:
- Generating compliance-ready SBOMs for software supply chain security
- CI/CD pipeline integration for continuous dependency tracking
- Vulnerability assessment and risk analysis of project dependencies
|
Alternatives:
-
syft
– Syft focuses on container images while cdxgen specializes in application-level dependency scanning
-
trivy
– Trivy is primarily a vulnerability scanner, whereas cdxgen excels at SBOM generation
