# JSON

> Emit machine-readable JSON for custom tooling and internal pipelines.

# JSON

**Purpose:** Structured scan results for custom consumers that do not ingest CBOM or SARIF directly.

**When to use:** Internal dashboards, scripts, or early integration work before adopting CycloneDX.

## Example

```bash theme={null}
cryptarium scan . --format json --output results.json
```

## Caveats

Prefer **CBOM** for portable inventory interchange and **SARIF** for code-scanning UIs when those consumers exist. JSON is the escape hatch, not the primary compliance artifact.
