## Historique du projet et usages

CycloneDX Generator, usually called cdxgen, is a CLI, library, REPL, and server for generating CycloneDX and SPDX software bill of materials documents from source trees, container images, binaries, hosts, and related inputs.

### Historique du projet

The GitHub API records the cdxgen repository as created on 2019-12-30. Its package metadata identifies @cyclonedx/cdxgen as the npm package and points to the official GitHub repository, while the README now presents cdxgen as a broader BOM toolkit covering SBOM, CBOM, OBOM, SaaSBOM, HBOM, AI-BOM, and validation/signing workflows.

The project grew from a CycloneDX SBOM generator into a multi-command supply-chain analysis suite with commands such as cdxgen, cdx-validate, cdx-convert, cdx-sign, cdx-verify, cdx-audit, evinse, hbom, obom, cbom, saasbom, aibom, and spdxgen.

### Historique d'adoption

cdxgen's adoption tracks the rise of SBOM requirements in software supply-chain security. The README positions it for developers, AppSec, compliance teams, SOC analysts, hardware teams, and AI platform teams, and the supplied package-manager metadata shows Homebrew, Nix, and winget packaging in addition to npm and GitHub release binaries.

### Modes d'utilisation

The common developer path is cdxgen -o bom.json . for a local project, with additional modes for containers, git URLs, purls, hosts, AI assets, and validation/conversion/signing. The README emphasizes CI/CD use and standalone binaries for several commands.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

cdxgen is package-nerd significant because it turns package graphs into standardized artifacts that other tools can consume. It sits at the intersection of language package managers, container metadata, CycloneDX, SPDX, Dependency-Track-style workflows, and modern compliance demands.

### Chronologie

- 2019: GitHub API records the cdxgen repository as created on 2019-12-30.
- 2024: Git tags include the v10 series, showing the project had reached a mature major-version cadence.
- 2026: Homebrew formula packages cdxgen 12.7.0, and the README documents CycloneDX 1.5-1.7 plus SPDX 3.0.1 support.

### Related projects

- CycloneDX is the primary BOM specification cdxgen emits.
- OWASP Dependency-Track and depscan are adjacent downstream/security workflows referenced by the project documentation.
- SPDX is supported as an export format through cdxgen and cdx-convert.
