Each hexagon a species in the SBOM ecosystem — cataloged, observed, and tagged with provenance.
Library
A flowering perennial of the JavaScript understory. Provides utility blossoms for data manipulation; pollinated by tens of thousands of downstream packages.
npm:lodash@4.17.21
Framework
A canopy tree of the modern web forest. Grows declarative limbs; shelters component undergrowth and supports rich biomes of state, effect, and ref.
npm:react@18.2.0
Runtime
A root system threading the soil of the operating system. Distributes nutrients (I/O, networking, processes) to the visible flora above.
runtime:node@20.11.1
Tool
A fruit-bearing branch in the build orchard. Compiles, bundles, and ripens source into shipped artifacts within milliseconds.
npm:esbuild@0.20.1
Library
A schema-flowering shrub. Validates the chemistry of data at the boundary of every system; its blossoms guard the integrity of the ecosystem.
npm:zod@3.22.4
Framework
A long-trunked conifer of the React forest. Manages light (rendering), water (data), and seed dispersal (routing) for production-grade growth.
npm:next@14.1.4
Runtime
A second root system in the same forest. Drinks the same TypeScript dew as its sibling but filters its nutrients through a permission membrane.
runtime:deno@1.41.3
Tool
An orchard inspector. Walks each row, tasting outcomes, flagging blight before it spreads through the dependency canopy.
npm:vitest@1.4.0
Library
A trefoil of cryptographic blooms. Three petals: encryption, signing, key-exchange. Pollinates nearly every secure connection on the internet.
native:openssl@3.2.1
03
A wide shot of the full dependency biome — flowers above, stems through, roots below; thorns where vulnerabilities have grown.
Filmed in the long take of npm install, this biome contains 1,284 species — 17 direct, 1,267 transitive. Two thorns observed; both treatable. The forest breathes on a 28-day cycle.
