function Format-JSON { <# .SYNOPSIS Formats objects as JSON .DESCRIPTION Formats an object as JSON. This is a light wrapper around ConvertTo-Json with a few key differences: 1. It defaults -Depth to 100 (the maximum) 2. It will not encode strings that look like JSON. Format-JSON can have raw JSON as input without it being converted. 3. It allows you to force single values into a list with -AsList 4. If there is nothing to convert, it outputs an empty JSON object. Using Format-JSON inside of an EZOut command will pack Format-JSON into your exported .ps1xml. .EXAMPLE Format-JSON -InputObject @("a", "b", "c") .EXAMPLE [Ordered]@{a="b";c="d";e=[Ordered]@{f=@('g')}} | Format-JSON #> [inherit("ConvertTo-JSON",Dynamic,Abstract)] [Management.Automation.Cmdlet("Format", "Object")] param( # If set, will always Format-JSON as a list.
