function ConvertTo-PSFClixml { <# .SYNOPSIS Converts an input object into a serialized string or byte array. .DESCRIPTION Converts an input object into a serialized string or byte array. Works analogous to Export-PSFClixml, only it does not require being written to file. .PARAMETER Depth Specifies how many levels of contained objects are included in the XML representation. The default value is 2. .PARAMETER InputObject The object(s) to serialize. .PARAMETER Style Whether to export as byte (better compression) or as string (often easier to transmit using other utilities/apis). .PARAMETER NoCompression By default, exported data is compressed, saving a lot of storage at the cost of some CPU cycles. This switch disables this compression, making string-style exports compatible with Import-Clixml. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ChildItem | ConvertTo-PSFClixml Scans all items in the current folder and then converts that into a compressed clixml string. #> [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly", "")] [CmdletBinding()] param ( [int] $Depth, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true)] $InputObject, [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlDataStyle] $Style = 'String', [switch] $NoCompression ) begin { $data = @() } process { $data += $InputObject } end { try { if ($Style -like 'Byte') { if ($NoCompression) { if ($Depth) { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByte($data, $Depth) } else { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByte($data) } } else { if ($Depth) { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByteCompressed($data, $Depth) } else { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByteCompressed($data) } } } else { if ($NoCompression) { if ($Depth) { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToString($data, $Depth) } else { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToString($data) } } else { if ($Depth) { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToStringCompressed($data, $Depth) } else { [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToStringCompressed($data) } } } } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -String 'ConvertTo-PSFClixml.Conversion.Error' -ErrorRecord $_ -EnableException $true -Target $resolvedPath -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet } } } |
