console.log(pkg);

=>
PackageURL {

  version: '5.5.5',
  qualifiers: null,
  subpath: null
}

const pkg = new PackageURL(
    'maven',
    'org.springframework.integration',
    'spring-integration-jms',
    '5.5.5',
    undefined,
    undefined);

console.log(pkg.toString());

pkg:maven/org.springframework.integration/spring-integration-jms@5.5.5

Error Handling

try {
    PackageURL.fromString('not-a-purl');
} catch(ex) {
    console.error(ex.message);
}

=>
purl is missing the required "pkg" scheme component.
