<#
    .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
