| [sw360-dev] [GSoC 2026] Proposal Draft: SBOM Validation and Dependency Visualization - Vasvi Garg |
Hi SW360 Team,
I am Vasvi Garg, a Full-Stack Engineer and Computer Science student. I’ve been actively contributing to the SW360 ecosystem, recently focusing on PR #3816, where I implemented a recursive logic to display CycloneDX dependency hierarchies.
For GSoC 2026, I am proposing a project to further enhance these capabilities: Automated SBOM Validation and Visualization. My goal is to implement a robust validation layer for incoming SBOMs (CycloneDX/SPDX) and a modern visualization component for the dependency tree.
I have prepared a draft proposal here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sYv85FfYbU6BCuqRzuHAP6wpi4LU-jfAlFjZnkHHrLI/edit?usp=sharing
I would greatly appreciate any feedback from the mentors, specifically regarding:
The choice between React Flow and D3.js for the visualization component.
The prioritization of specific validation rules (e.g., NTIA minimum elements vs. security metadata).
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best regards,
Vasvi Garg
