• Type Name: Bazel modules
• Description: Bazel modules as specified at https://bazel.build/external/module
• Schema ID: https://packageurl.org/types/bazel-definition.json

PURL Syntax

The structure of a PURL for this package type is:

pkg:bazel/<name>@<version>?<qualifiers>#<subpath>

Repository Information

• Use Repository: Yes
• Default Repository URL: https://bcr.bazel.build
• Note: The default repository is the Bazel Central Registry (BCR)

Namespace definition

• Requirement: Prohibited

Name definition

• Requirement: Required
• Note: The name as defined in the MODULE.bazel file

Version definition

• Requirement: Optional
• Note: The version as defined in the MODULE.bazel file. Uses a relaxed semantic versioning format described at https://bazel.build/external/module#version-format.

Subpath definition

• Requirement: Optional
• Native Label: label
• Note: The optional subpath MAY refer to a label of a particular package or target in the module (https://bazel.build/concepts/labels). The label MUST NOT include a repo name and the leading '//' MUST be omitted. When referring to targets, the label MUST include the name of the target, separated from the package by ':'. If there is no target name, subpath is assumed to refer to the whole package.
