Apache-2.0

• API for creating and manipulating SPDX documents.
• Parse Tag/Value format SPDX files
• Parse RDF format SPDX files
• Create Tag/Value files.
• Create RDF files.

• RDF Parser implemented.
• Tag/value parser implemented
• Tag/value writer implemented.
• RDF/Writer implemented.

• Update to SPDX v2.1

Example tag/value parsing usage:

    from spdx.parsers.tagvalue import Parser
    from spdx.parsers.tagvaluebuilders import Builder
    from spdx.parsers.loggers import StandardLogger
    p = Parser(Builder(), StandardLogger())
    p.build()
    # data is a string containing the SPDX file.
    document, error = p.parse(data)

The examples directory contains several code samples:

• parse_tv.py is an example tag/vlue parsing uage. Try running python parse_tv.py 'data/SPDXSimpleTag.tag'

• write_tv.py provides an example of writing tag/value files. Run python write_tv.py sample.tag to test it.

• pp_tv.py demonstrates how to pretty-print a tag/value file. To test it run python pp_tv.py data/SPDXTagExample.tag pretty.tag.

• parse_rdf.py demonstrates how to parse an RDF file and print out document information. To test it run python parse_rdf.py data/SPDXRdfExample.rdf

• rdf_to_tv.py demonstrates how to convert an RDF file to a tag/value one. To test it run python rdf_to_tv.py data/SPDXRdfExample.rdf converted.tag

• pp_rdf.py demonstrates how to pretty-print an RDF file, to test it run python pp_rdf.py data/SPDXRdfExample.rdf pretty.rdf

Clone or download the repository and run python setup.py install.

From the project root directory run: python setup.py test. You can use another test runner such as pytest or nose at your preference.
