Single-line SBOM file is not diff-friendly

Using v3.6.3, I noticed that the generated SBOM is just a single-line file, thus not diff-friendly. Is there any reason to not have a pretty-printed output file generated?

feel free to open a pull-request for the feature

I solved it in my setup by post-processing the created output file.

Oterwise, it also seems to be an issue for the underlying https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-python-lib.

This needs to be implemented separately for the JSON and XML output formats.
I created a PR for JSON. Will leave XML for someone else. Makes for a good first PR :-)

[jkowalleck]

the feature should net simply be implemented, but be an option.
so a new CLI switch like --output-humanreadable or something should enable the new behavior.

[jkowalleck]

might depend on CycloneDX/cyclonedx-python-lib#458

Underlying library is able to produce human-friendly XML and JSON.
So this feature is planned for the upcoming release 🥳
