class DependencyTrackParser:

r"""
A class that can be used to parse the JSON Finding Packaging Format (FPF) export from OWASP Dependency Track.

See here for more info on this JSON format: https://docs.dependencytrack.org/integrations/file-formats/

A typical Finding Packaging Format (FPF) export looks like the following:
