// TestEncodeDecodeEncodeCycleComparison is testing for differences in how SBOM documents get encoded on multiple cycles.
// By encding and decoding the sbom we can compare the differences between the set of resulting objects. However,
// this requires specific comparisons being done, and select redactions/omissions being made. Additionally, there are
// already unit tests on each format encoder-decoder for properly functioning comparisons in depth, so there is no need
// to do an object-to-object comparison. For this reason this test focuses on a bytes-to-bytes comparison after an
// encode-decode-encode loop which will detect lossy behavior in both directions.
