ort dependency_graphs

[durr-hackenberg]

Hello,
is there somewhere a description how to generate the dependency graph from ORT Analyser?
I want to render this structure in JavaScript but it is not so simple to understand how the structure was created. Is there any Documentation about that topic ?

What I have understood so far:

1. So I currently understand that the "scopes" creating the roots of the tree.
2. The nodes array have "pkg" and "fragment", what are the different ?
3. "edges" creating the end of the branch ? "from" and "to" are selecting the range of packages ?
4. How do the indexes belong together ? I think somehow you have to be able to determine which edge/node belongs to which dependency. What array index determines that ?

Thank you!

Depending on the package manager, ORT currently uses two different internal formats to store the dependency graph (also see #3825). But it is anyway highly recommended not to parse ORT's result file format directly, as it's an internal format that might change any at time, breaking things on your side.

Instead, you should probably consider writing a custom / private ORT reporter plugin. Maybe you'd also be interested in #6636.
