https://spdx.dev
SPDX is a standard for license information of a software product and its dependencies. The current artifacts.json isn't a standard. I have a prototype to generate a spdx.json file and would like to publish it too.

The prototype based on the artifacts.json file, but this file lacks a graph and some properties. Instead, this format needs to use the maven pom files/apis directly.

Needed properties:

  • (nullable) variant
  • (nullable) scm organization
  • download location (repo)
  • jar checksum
  • dependency graph

Can we still include the extra stuff that's in our JSON today? Or is the format too strict?

Do you mean, you want to put the content of the artifacts.json in the spdx.json? The spdx spec is a superset of the current artifacts.json file. It includes everything of the current json, but spdx is more detailed and way more complex.
Depending on your use-case (at cash?) and maybe small apps, I would keep the artifacts.json file for easy usages.
