.SYNOPSIS Formats XML content for improved readability. .DESCRIPTION The Format-XML function takes XML content as input and formats it to improve readability. It creates an XmlDocument object, loads the provided XML content into it, and then uses an XmlTextWriter to write the formatted XML to a string. This makes the XML content easier to read and understand. .PARAMETER XMLContent Specifies the XML content to be formatted. This parameter is mandatory and accepts XML content as a string. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $XMLContent = Format-XML "<root><item>Value 1</item><item>Value 2</item></root>" PS C:\> Format-XML -XMLContent $XMLContent This example formats the provided XML content and displays the formatted XML as output. .NOTES Function : Format-XML Author : John Billekens Copyright: Copyright (c) AppVentiX Version : 1.1 #> function Format-XML { [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true, Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [Alias("Data", "Content")] [string]$XMLContent ) Begin { Write-Verbose "Starting Format-XML" } Process { Write-Verbose "Formatting XML content..." $xmlObject = New-Object -TypeName System.Xml.XmlDocument $xmlObject.LoadXml($XMLContent) $stringWriter = New-Object System.IO.StringWriter $xmlTextWriter = New-Object System.Xml.XmlTextwriter($stringWriter) $xmlTextWriter.Formatting = [System.XML.Formatting]::Indented $xmlObject.WriteContentTo($xmlTextWriter) Write-Verbose "Formating complete, returning formatted XML content..."
