I get the following error when trying to convert SPDX v2.3 that's produced by GitHub's built-in SBOM generator to CycloneDX JSON.

Unhandled exception: System.Text.Json.JsonException: The JSON value could not be converted to CycloneDX.Spdx.Models.v2_2.ExternalRefCategory. Path: $.packages[0].externalRefs[0].referenceCategory | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 2710.

In order to replicate the error, go to https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-cli/network/dependencies and click on "Export SBOM". Then run the following command to convert that file:
cyclonedx convert --intput-file ./CycloneDx_cyclonedx-cli_bf58f0.json --input-format spdxjson --output-format json
