CycloneDX and SPDX are two popular and well-accepted standard formats for representing and distributing software bill of materials (SBOM). Since these formats define a standard syntax, they are machine readable and can be processed using software programs. However, they are not easily human readable. Since both of them support json format, users can use json viewers to view them in a human friendly fashion. The below table suggests some json viewer tools which can be used to view SBOM files.
