OSV consists of:

1. [The OSV Schema](https://ossf.github.io/osv-schema/): An easy-to-use data format that maps precisely to open source versioning schemes.
2. Reference infrastructure (this site, API, and tooling) that aggregates and indexes vulnerability data from databases that use the OSV schema.

supported frontend for OSV.dev
