Description

I initially created the issue here https://github.com/microsoft/sbom-tool/issues/478, but it seemed to be the wrong repo.

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP: https://getcomposer.org/

It would be cool to also create an SBOM out of composer.json files. That's why I ask you to add composer.json as a source for component detection. I would also be happy to help if needed.

Thanks,
Juergen

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the repository's existing package-manager detection entry points and compare their behavior with Composer's dependency metadata; done means composer.json files produce the expected SBOM components, with coverage through the repository's existing test path.
