A simple webapp that provides guidance on and creates Package URLs of type "swid".
SWID is defined in ISO-IEC 19770-2 Software Identification (SWID) tags and defines an XML Schema. Ironically, the SWID specification supports more than software identity, however, in the case of Package URL (which is primarily an identity and location specification) the identity portions of SWID can be leveraged and represented in PURL. This approach makes PURL formatted SWID more easily accessible and available to software consumers and systems leveraging SBOM, ITAM, and SAM.
Launch the PURL SWID Generator to learn more and generate your own SWID tags that are represented in Package URL format.
