Description

Since the JSON patch functionality is based on a neutral record format and that it need only need be applied to valid JSON documents, in theory it should be possible to support SPDX. The primary need is creating a valid set of functional tests (equivalent to the current CDX ones) to validate this enablement.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing CDX functional tests and the SPDX specification to understand the required test cases for the patch command.
