Deno Parser
March 19, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Parsers: DenoParser, DenoLockParser
Why This Exists
Python ScanCode currently has no deno.json, deno.jsonc, or deno.lock support. Provenant now parses Deno configuration manifests and current v5 lockfiles directly.
What We Extract
- publishable package identity from
name,version, andexports, - import-map dependency declarations from
imports, - Deno config metadata such as
scopes,links,tasks, andlock, - current
deno.lockv5specifiers,jsr,npm,redirects,remote, andworkspace.dependenciessections, - resolved JSR and npm packages with integrity data,
- direct remote module entries from
redirectsplus their locked remote hashes, - sibling assembly between
deno.json(c)anddeno.lock.
Reference limitation
The Python reference does not currently support Deno manifests or lockfiles, so modern Deno dependency data is easy to miss during scans.
Rust behavior
Rust parses Deno configuration and lockfile inputs directly, recovers publishable package identity, keeps import and remote-module metadata, and assembles manifest plus lockfile evidence when both are present.
Impact
- Better JS/TS dependency visibility for Deno projects
- Better support for modern
jsr:/npm:/ remote-import workflows - Better lockfile-backed package evidence for reproducible Deno builds
