Package description
The spdx-correct npm package is used to correct invalid SPDX license identifiers to valid ones. SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange) is a standard format for communicating the licensing information of software packages. The spdx-correct package takes a possibly incorrect SPDX expression and returns a corrected version that is valid according to the SPDX specification, if possible.
Correcting invalid SPDX license identifiers
This feature takes an invalid SPDX license identifier, such as 'Apache 2.0', and corrects it to a valid identifier, 'Apache-2.0'.
"use strict";
const spdxCorrect = require('spdx-correct');
const corrected = spdxCorrect('Apache 2.0');
console.log(corrected); // 'Apache-2.0'This package parses valid SPDX license expressions, ensuring they conform to the SPDX specification. Unlike spdx-correct, it does not correct invalid expressions but rather parses and validates the structure of valid SPDX expressions.
This package provides a list of SPDX license identifiers. It can be used to validate if a given license identifier is a valid SPDX identifier. It does not correct invalid identifiers but can be used to check validity against the list of known identifiers.
This package checks if a given license string is a valid npm package license string, which can be an SPDX license expression. It is similar to spdx-correct in that it deals with license validation, but it does not correct invalid identifiers.
