Free online tools that the SPDX tooling community has provided for validation, conversion, and comparison of SPDX.
SPDX Tools
The SPDX Community develops and supports the following tools:
Commercial and Open Source Tools that Support SPDX
The SPDX project encourages the development of tools that conform to the specification and help consumers and producers of SPDX documents. Below is a filterable listing of tools.
The information in the listings is provided by the tool suppliers. The SPDX group does not endorse specific tools nor do we ensure accuracy of information provided. We ask tool providers in the listing to describe how they validate SPDX compatibility. We are, however, open to feedback on issues with tool listings at Spdx-outreach@lists.spdx.org. (We do take responsibility for SPDX community tools which are overseen by the SPDX project.)
Note we are in the process of migrating open source tools from a legacy page.

Application Collection – SBOM Viewer
The SBOM viewer is a web tool that lets you display SPDX and CycloneDX SBOMS in a human friendly way.
Users can pick any local SBOM following one of those specifications. The tool will detect the file format, and will summarize the relevant content instantly.
Everything happens offline: no data is sent to the internet and the visualization is rendered on the client side, which is great from a privacy perspective. Registration isn’t needed either to use the tool.
Contact
https://www.rancher.com/contact
SPDX verification
The JSON is parsed with JavaScript native libraries, and then key properties are validated in the resulting Objects to ensure the incoming SBOMs validity.
How to procure
Go to https://apps.rancher.io/sbom-viewer and follow the instructions there: select a local SPDX SBOM to display. No login/registration is required.
Installation instructions
No installation needed. Only internet connection to reach the tool site.

Black Duck SCA
Black Duck® software composition analysis (SCA) helps teams manage the security, quality, and license compliance risks that come from using open source and third-party code in applications. Manage software supply chain risks and make software bills of materials (SBOMs) part of the entire app lifecycle. Import SBOMs, automatically map dependencies, and document new components from custom or commercial dependencies. Export SPDX reports with standard or custom fields, automate SBOM generation, and monitor SBOM dependencies for emergent risks.
Contact
SPDX verification
Black Duck uses the https://github.com/spdx/Spdx-Java-Library to generate SPDX compliant SBOMs. The https://github.com/spdx/Spdx-Java-Library is used to validate that SBOMs imported into Black Duck meet the SPDX specifications. Logs and references to specific lines causing the verification to fail are available if the SBOM being imported does not pass verification.

Yocto Project / OpenEmbedded
Yocto project through the OpenEmbedded build system supports creation of embedded system distros, including Linux and other RTOSes. SBOM data is generated using the extensive metadata that Yocto already track about software it is building. This includes license descriptions, build time dependencies, runtime dependencies, and scanning of debug data for source code relationships. The output from the tool is a collection of SPDX json files with a rich set of inter-document references.
