It ensures that any nested PSObjects are converted to generic objects. The order of keys in the hashtable is preserved in the resulting OrderedDictionary. .PARAMETER Data The hashtable to convert. .EXAMPLE $ht = @{ "Key1" = "Value1"; "Key2" = [PSCustomObject]@{ Prop1 = "Val1"; Prop2 = "Val2" } } $dict = Convert-HashtableToDictionary -Data $ht # $dict is now an OrderedDictionary with Key1 and Key2, where Key2's value is a generic object. .NOTES This function is designed to work with PowerShell 7.0 and above. #> function Convert-HashtableToDictionary { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [hashtable]$Data ) # Preserve original insertion order: PowerShell hashtable preserves insertion order internally $ordered = [System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary]::new() foreach ($k in $Data.Keys) { $ordered.Add($k, (Convert-PSObjectToGenericObject $Data[$k])) } return $ordered } |
