}

2. When No Vulnerabilities Found (no-Severity-response.json)

{
  "content": [{
    "vulnerability": null,
    "metadata": {
      "timestamp": "2024-04-23T10:00:00.000Z",

  }]
}

Development

For development reference, check the example response files in the public directory:

Severity-response.json : Example response when vulnerabilities are found (transformed from npm audit API response)
no-Severity-response.json : Example response when no vulnerabilities are found (transformed from npm audit API response)

Note: The example responses shown above are transformed from the raw npm audit API responses to provide a more structured format. The original npm audit API responses contain additional metadata and may have a different structure.
