CycloneDX, developed by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), is an open common standard for communicating SBOM information, a data format.
In the dependencies array, you can find a reference number (ref) for each component and an array of each direct dependency of that dependency (depends_on). The roots of the relational trees will reference to the files in the project, together with the direct dependencies that it contains. By traversing the dependencies array, it is possible to build the entire dependency tree.
In example below, you can see the direct dependency `webpack:4.28.4` depending on `terser-webpack-plugin:1.2.1` which in turn depends on `terser:3.14.1`.
