// Package govulncheck contains the JSON output structs for govulncheck.
//
// govulncheck supports streaming JSON by emitting a series of Message
// objects as it analyzes user code and discovers vulnerabilities.
// Streaming JSON is useful for displaying progress in real-time for
// large projects where govulncheck execution might take some time.
//
// govulncheck JSON emits configuration used to perform the analysis,
// a user-friendly message about what is being analyzed, and the
// vulnerability findings. Findings for the same vulnerability can
// can be emitted several times. For instance, govulncheck JSON will
// emit a finding when it sees that a vulnerable module is required
// before proceeding to check if the vulnerability is imported or called.
// Please see documentation on Message and related types for precise
// details on the stream encoding.
//
// There are no guarantees on the order of messages. The pattern of emitted
// messages can change in the future. Clients can follow code in handler.go
// for consuming the streaming JSON programmatically.
