# CycloneDX SBOM

OpenText Core SCA supports tracking dependencies in [CycloneDX SBOM](https://cyclonedx.org/) using files in JSON and XML formats.

To ensure that OpenText Core SCA identifes the SBOM files as CycloneDX SBOMs, please name them using one of the following conventions:

* *.bom..json*
* *.\*cdx.json*
* *.\*cdx.xml*
* *.bom..xm*l

The specific features available for the SBOM will depend on the libraries included and the individual package managers used.

### **Supported file formats and features**
