It ensures that any nested hashtables or lists are also converted to generic objects or generic lists, respectively. .PARAMETER InputObject The PSObject to convert. .EXAMPLE $psObj = [PSCustomObject]@{ Key1 = "Value1"; Key2 = @( "Val2a", "Val2b" ); Key3 = @{ SubKey = "SubVal" } } $genericObj = Convert-PSObjectToGenericObject -Data $psObj # $genericObj is now a generic object with the same properties, where Key2 is a List[object] and Key3 is an OrderedDictionary. .NOTES This function is designed to work with PowerShell 7.0 and above. #> function Convert-PSObjectToGenericObject { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Object]$InputObject ) if ($null -eq $InputObject) { return $InputObject } # Use PowerShell's -is operator for efficient type checking if ($InputObject -is [System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary]) { return Convert-OrderedHashtableToDictionary $InputObject } elseif ($InputObject -is [System.Collections.IDictionary]) { return Convert-HashtableToDictionary $InputObject } elseif ($InputObject -is [System.Collections.IList]) { return Convert-ListToGenericList $InputObject } return $InputObject } |
