Add support for parsing more than one package

Python library to parse, validate and create SPDX documents

CI status (Linux, macOS and Windows):

Breaking changes v0.7 -> v0.8

Please be aware that the upcoming 0.8 release has undergone a significant refactoring in preparation for the upcoming SPDX v3.0 release, leading to breaking changes in the API. Please refer to the migration guide to update your existing code.

The main features of v0.8 are:

full validation of SPDX documents against the v2.2 and v2.3 specification
support for SPDX's RDF format with all v2.3 features
experimental support for the upcoming SPDX v3 specification. Note, however, that support is neither complete nor stable at this point, as the spec is still evolving. SPDX3-related code is contained in a separate subpackage "spdx3" and its use is optional. We do not recommend using it in production code yet.

Features

API to create and manipulate SPDX v2.2 and v2.3 documents
Parse, convert, create and validate SPDX files
supported formats: Tag/Value, RDF, JSON, YAML, XML
visualize the structure of a SPDX document by creating an AGraph. Note: This is an optional feature and requires additional installation of optional dependencies

Experimental support for SPDX 3.0

Create v3.0 elements and payloads
Convert v2.2/v2.3 documents to v3.0
Serialize to JSON-LD

See Quickstart to SPDX 3.0 below.
The implementation is based on the descriptive markdown files in the repository https://github.com/spdx/spdx-3-model (latest commit: a5372a3c145dbdfc1381fc1f791c68889aafc7ff).

Installation

As always you should work in a virtualenv (venv). You can install a local clone of this repo with yourenv/bin/pip install . or install it from PyPI (check for the newest release and install it like yourenv/bin/pip install spdx-tools==0.8.0a2). Note that on Windows it would be Scripts instead of bin.

How to use

Command-line usage

PARSING/VALIDATING (for parsing any format):

Use pyspdxtools -i <filename> where <filename> is the location of the file. The input format is inferred automatically from the file ending.
If you are using a source distribution, try running:
pyspdxtools -i tests/data/SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.json

CONVERTING (for converting one format to another):

Use pyspdxtools -i <input_file> -o <output_file> where <input_file> is the location of the file to be converted and <output_file> is the location of the output file. The input and output formats are inferred automatically from the file endings.
If you are using a source distribution, try running:
pyspdxtools -i tests/data/SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.json -o output.tag
If you want to skip the validation process, provide the --novalidation flag, like so:
pyspdxtools -i tests/data/SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.json -o output.tag --novalidation
(use this with caution: note that undetected invalid documents may lead to unexpected behavior of the tool)
For help use pyspdxtools --help

GRAPH GENERATION (optional feature)

This feature generates a graph representing all elements in the SPDX document and their connections based on the provided relationships. The graph can be rendered to a picture. Below is an example for the file tests/data/SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.json:
Make sure you install the optional dependencies networkx and pygraphviz. To do so run pip install ".[graph_generation]".
Use pyspdxtools -i <input_file> --graph -o <output_file> where <output_file> is an output file name with valid format for pygraphviz (check the documentation here).
If you are using a source distribution, try running pyspdxtools -i tests/data/SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.json --graph -o SPDXJSONExample-v2.3.spdx.png to generate a png with an overview of the structure of the example file.

Library usage

DATA MODEL

The spdx_tools.spdx.model package constitutes the internal SPDX v2.3 data model (v2.2 is simply a subset of this). All relevant classes for SPDX document creation are exposed in the __init__.py found here.
SPDX objects are implemented via @dataclass_with_properties, a custom extension of @dataclass.
- Each class starts with a list of its properties and their possible types. When no default value is provided, the property is mandatory and must be set during initialization.
- Using the type hints, type checking is enforced when initializing a new instance or setting/getting a property on an instance (wrong types will raise ConstructorTypeError or TypeError, respectively). This makes it easy to catch invalid properties early and only construct valid documents.
- Note: in-place manipulations like list.append(item) will circumvent the type checking (a TypeError will still be raised when reading list again). We recommend using list = list + [item] instead.
The main entry point of an SPDX document is the Document class from the document.py module, which links to all other classes.
For license handling, the license_expression library is used.
Note on documentDescribes and hasFiles: These fields will be converted to relationships in the internal data model. As they are deprecated, these fields will not be written in the output.

PARSING

Use parse_file(file_name) from the parse_anything.py module to parse an arbitrary file with one of the supported file endings.
Successful parsing will return a Document instance. Unsuccessful parsing will raise SPDXParsingError with a list of all encountered problems.

VALIDATING

Use validate_full_spdx_document(document) to validate an instance of the Document class.
This will return a list of ValidationMessage objects, each consisting of a String describing the invalidity and a ValidationContext to pinpoint the source of the validation error.
Validation depends on the SPDX version of the document. Note that only versions SPDX-2.2 and SPDX-2.3 are supported by this tool.

WRITING

Use write_file(document, file_name) from the write_anything.py module to write a Document instance to the specified file. The serialization format is determined from the filename ending.
Validation is performed per default prior to the writing process, which is cancelled if the document is invalid. You can skip the validation via write_file(document, file_name, validate=False). Caution: Only valid documents can be serialized reliably; serialization of invalid documents is not supported.

Example

Here are some examples of possible use cases to quickly get you started with the spdx-tools. If you want more examples, like how to create an SPDX document from scratch, have a look at the examples folder.

import logging

from license_expression import get_spdx_licensing

from spdx_tools.spdx.model import (Checksum, ChecksumAlgorithm, File, 
                                   FileType, Relationship, RelationshipType)
from spdx_tools.spdx.parser.parse_anything import parse_file
from spdx_tools.spdx.validation.document_validator import validate_full_spdx_document
from spdx_tools.spdx.writer.write_anything import write_file

# read in an SPDX document from a file
document = parse_file("spdx_document.json")

# change the document's name
document.creation_info.name = "new document name"

# define a file and a DESCRIBES relationship between the file and the document
checksum = Checksum(ChecksumAlgorithm.SHA1, "71c4025dd9897b364f3ebbb42c484ff43d00791c")

file = File(name="./fileName.py", spdx_id="SPDXRef-File", checksums=[checksum], 
            file_types=[FileType.TEXT], 
            license_concluded=get_spdx_licensing().parse("MIT and GPL-2.0"),
            license_comment="licenseComment", copyright_text="copyrightText")

relationship = Relationship("SPDXRef-DOCUMENT", RelationshipType.DESCRIBES, "SPDXRef-File")

# add the file and the relationship to the document 
# (note that we do not use "document.files.append(file)" as that would circumvent the type checking)
document.files = document.files + [file]
document.relationships = document.relationships + [relationship]

# validate the edited document and log the validation messages
# (depending on your use case, you might also want to utilize the validation_message.context)
validation_messages = validate_full_spdx_document(document)
for validation_message in validation_messages:
    logging.warning(validation_message.validation_message)

# if there are no validation messages, the document is valid 
# and we can safely serialize it without validating again
if not validation_messages:
    write_file(document, "new_spdx_document.rdf", validate=False)

Quickstart to SPDX 3.0

In contrast to SPDX v2, all elements are now subclasses of the central Element class. This includes packages, files, snippets, relationships, annotations, but also SBOMs, SpdxDocuments, and more.
For serialization purposes, all Elements that are to be serialized into the same file are collected in a Payload. This is just a dictionary that maps each Element's SpdxId to itself. Use the write_payload() functions to serialize a payload. There currently are two options:

The spdx_tools.spdx3.writer.json_ld.json_ld_writer module generates a JSON-LD file of the payload.
The spdx_tools.spdx3.writer.console.payload_writer module prints a debug output to console. Note that this is not an official part of the SPDX specification and will probably be dropped as soon as a better standard emerges.

You can convert an SPDX v2 document to v3 via the spdx_tools.spdx3.bump_from_spdx2.spdx_document module. The bump_spdx_document() function will return a payload containing an SpdxDocument Element and one Element for each package, file, snippet, relationship, or annotation contained in the v2 document.
