Converting Results

After scanning your project, you can convert the resulting JSON output to other formats for use with different tools, workflows, and stakeholders — without needing to re-scan your codebase.

The Convert Command

Basic Syntax

scanoss-py convert --input <input-file> --format <format> --output <output-file>

Run the following command to view all available options:

scanoss-py convert --help

Available output formats:

cyclonedx — CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
spdxlite — SPDX Lite SBOM (a licence-focused subset of the SPDX standard)
csv — Comma-separated values (spreadsheet-compatible)

Note: The --format flag value is case-sensitive and must be entered in lowercase as shown above.

Convert to CycloneDX

Generate an SBOM in CycloneDX format:

scanoss-py convert --input scan-results.json --format cyclonedx --output sbom.cdx.json

Convert to SPDX Lite

Generate an SBOM in SPDX Lite format:

scanoss-py convert --input scan-results.json --format spdxlite --output sbom.spdx.json

Convert to CSV

Generate a comma-separated values file suitable for use in spreadsheet applications:

scanoss-py convert --input scan-results.json --format csv --output results.csv
