### description

Lib4VEX is a library to parse and generate VEX Documents. It supports VEXs created in CSAF, CycloneDX, OpenVEX and SPDX formats.

It has been developed on the assumption that having a generic abstraction of VEX regardless of the underlying format will be useful to developers.

The following facilities are provided:

- Generate CSAF VEX document
- Generate CycloneDX VEX document
- Generate OpenVEX VEX document
- Generate SPDX VEX document
- Parse CSAF VEX document
- Parse CycloneDXVEX document
- Parse OpenVEX VEX document
- Parse SPDX VEX document
- Generated VEX document can be output to a file or to the console
