How to convert SPDX YAML to CycloneDX XML
Before you start
Paste valid SPDX YAML syntax or drop one or more .spdx.yaml files.
Accepted: .spdx.yaml · application/spdx+yaml- Paste valid SPDX YAML content, choose files, or drag them onto the drop zone.
- Confirm the detected format. Mixed-format batches are flagged before conversion.
- Select “Convert on this device.” Produces previewable CycloneDX XML text and a correctly named download.
How this converter behaves
API collections and software bills of materials are normalized into typed local models; requests are never sent and converted metadata is never uploaded.
What happens to your data?
The conversion engine runs in this browser tab. OmniCastConverter has no upload API and never sends your content, file name, or converted result to a server.
Fidelity and limitations
This route is classified as structural. The converter preserves meaning and structure supported by both formats.
- SBOM conversion preserves common component identity and dependency data. Revalidate the result against the destination specification before compliance use.
- Core components, versions, package URLs, licenses, hashes, suppliers, and dependency relationships are normalized. Format-specific evidence, annotations, signatures, and advanced relationship semantics require review.
