This directory contains community-contributed functionality that extends the capabilities of the CycloneDX core library.
Unlike the modules in ../, these features are not part of the official CycloneDX specification and may vary in stability, scope, or compatibility.
- Utilities, helpers, and experimental features developed by the community
- Optional add-ons that may facilitate or enhance use of the CycloneDX core library
- Code that evolves independently of the CycloneDX specification
- Contrib modules are optional and not required for strict compliance with the CycloneDX standard.
- They may change more frequently than the core and are not guaranteed to follow the same versioning rules.
- Users should evaluate these modules carefully and consult documentation or source comments for details.
Contributions are welcome. To add an extension:
- Follow the contribution guidelines in the main repository.
- Place your code in a clearly named subfolder or file under
contrib/. - Provide documentation and tests to ensure clarity and maintainability.
