history

Project history and usage

SARIF Tools is a Python library and command suite for examining and transforming static-analysis reports.

Project history

Published under Microsoft's GitHub organization, SARIF Tools combines report conversion, comparison and filtering. The 2024 major release reorganized its Python reporting API around IssueReport.

Adoption history

The project documents pip installation on Windows, Linux and macOS. Its Code Climate export supports presenting results in GitLab code-quality reports; no quantitative adoption history is established.

How it is used

Run sarif summary, diff, html or csv against reports or directories. The --check option can produce a failing exit status for selected severities, supporting automated checks.

Why package nerds care

It provides a reusable reporting layer across analyzers that emit SARIF, with both a Python API and a command-line interface.

Timeline

2024-09-10: Version 3.0.0 introduced an IssueReport-based Python API and revised report grouping.

Related projects

SARIF is the interchange format consumed by the toolkit; GitLab Code Quality is a documented export destination.
