CycloneDX SBOM With Schema Violations: Intentionally Invalid

An intentionally invalid CycloneDX SBOM: the JSON parses, but bomFormat is missing, one component has no name, and a dependency references a bom-ref that no component declares. Every package, version, hash and licence is fictional: the tree describes nothing real.

Testing contract

Expected to fail
Scenario
Run a CycloneDX schema validator over a well-formed but non-conforming SBOM.
Expected result
Validator reports at least three distinct violations (absent bomFormat, component missing required name, dangling dependency ref) rather than accepting the file because the JSON parsed.

What is a .json file?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.

How to use this file

Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.

How to use this file for testing

“CycloneDX SBOM With Schema Violations: Intentionally Invalid” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Schema validation, Error handling, JSON parsing. JSON Schema documents describing a data shape, for testing validators and schema-aware tooling.

Documented properties for this file: seed 51200 · LF · CycloneDX. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

SBOM, lockfile, provenance, and advisory fixtures describe the same fabricated component tree across formats, so a converter or scanner can be diffed against a known answer. Every package name, version, hash, and advisory ID is invented, never treat a finding here as real.

Code examples

import json

with open("cyclonedx-1.6-schema-violations.json") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
print(type(data), len(data))
