packageUrl
Summary
Provides a place for the SPDX data creator to record the package URL string (in accordance with the package URL spec) for a software Package.
Description
A packageUrl (commonly pronounced and referred to as "purl") is an attempt to standardize package representations in order to reliably identify and locate software packages. A purl is a URL string which represents a package in a mostly universal and uniform way across programming languages, package managers, packaging conventions, tools, APIs and databases.
the purl URL string is defined by seven components:
scheme:type/namespace/name@version?qualifiers#subpath
The definition for each component can be found in the purl specification. Components are designed such that they form a hierarchy from the most significant on the left to the least significant components on the right.
Parsing a purl string into its components works from left to right. Some extra type-specific normalizations are required. For more information, see How to parse a purl string in its components.
