Import a ScanCode JSON File

Import a JSON file

  • We have provided a set of sample scans that you can quickly review in ScanCode Workbench in order to get a sense of its functionality and the types of information captured by a scan. The samples are located at https://github.com/nexB/scancode-workbench/tree/develop/samples.

  • To import a ScanCode JSON file:

    • Open the File menu and select Import JSON File (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+I or ⌘+I).
    • In the dialog window that opens, navigate to the JSON file you want to import, select the file and click Open.
    • You will then be prompted to choose a filename and location to save the JSON file as a SQLite database file. Add a filename, select the folder in which you want to save the SQLite database file, and click Save.
    • ScanCode Workbench will then create a SQLite database file from your JSON file, indicated by the status message "Creating Database ..."
    • Once the process has finished, the status message will be replaced by an expandable code tree and, to the right of the tree, a table displaying provenance information generated by ScanCode.

Export a JSON file

  • To export a JSON file:
    • Select the File menu and then select Export JSON File (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+E or ⌘+E).
    • In the dialog window that opens, add a name for the file, navigate to the directory in which you want to save the file and click Save.
