Not able to generate SBOM in json format

[sgugale]

I want to generate SBOM in the JSON format. I used -f flag to do so. But not able to change the spdx (default format).

I have followed the below steps:

1. Download sbom-spdx-generator binary for the windows
2. Run sbom-spdx-generator -f json
3. Observe the SBOM file in spdx format

Can someone please help me on this?

This is still an issue, came here to report exactly the same

Thanks for filing this issue. Since we're new to the project, we're still trying to understand how badly this feature is broken. Lots of other functions are broken as well. We're working to fix the project core. Sorry about this and thanks for your patience.

Cloning the repo and running it with the -f json flag, produces json output for me:

@nishakm can you create a new release?
