GO SPDX Parser Library
Parser library for SPDX written in Go (golang). It includes a CLI tool that has features such as convert, validate and format (pretty-print).
The CLI tool is a good example on how to use the /spdx, /tag and /rdf packages in other Go programs. All the features available in the CLI tool are available in the library as well.
Features (planned for first release)
The following are currently done:
- SPDX 1.2 (the only version supported at the moment)
- parsing RDF formats using goraptor.
- Convert to/from rdf and tag formats
- Validate SPDX documents
- HTML validation output (use the -html flag)
- Auto-detect the input format (file extension or first line guessing)
- Format (pretty-print) SPDX documents (tag format)
Downloading and installing
The easiest way is by using go get
