security-checker: Return results as a JSON object.

try on your machine

The command "security-checker security:check --format=json" is used to perform security checks on a project using the SecurityChecker tool and retrieve the results in JSON format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "security-checker" is the name of the command that runs the SecurityChecker tool. This tool scans a project's dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.
  • "security:check" is the sub-command that instructs SecurityChecker to perform a security check on the project.
  • "--format=json" is an option that specifies the output format for the security check results. In this case, it's set to JSON format, which means the results will be presented in a structured data format that is machine-readable.

By running this command, the SecurityChecker tool will analyze the project's dependencies and generate a report on any security vulnerabilities found. The results will be displayed in JSON format, which can then be used for further processing or integration with other tools or systems.
