.SYNOPSIS Converts a PSCustomObject to a hashtable. .DESCRIPTION The ConvertTo-HashTable function takes a PSCustomObject as input and converts it into a hashtable. It recursively traverses the object's properties and creates nested hashtables for any properties that are also PSCustomObjects. This is primarily used when parsing JSON via ConvertFrom-JSON. .PARAMETER root The root PSCustomObject to be converted to a hashtable. .EXAMPLE $object = [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = "John" Age = 30 Address = [PSCustomObject]@{ Street = "123 Main St" City = "New York" Country = "USA" } } $hashTable = ConvertTo-HashTable -root $object # $hashTable will contain the following hashtable: # @{ # Name = "John" # Age = 30 # Address = @{ # Street = "123 Main St" # City = "New York" # Country = "USA" # } # } #> function ConvertTo-HashTable { param( [Parameter( Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true )] [PSCustomObject]$root ) $HashTable = @{} $Keys = [array]$root.psobject.Members | Where-Object { $_.MemberType -eq 'NoteProperty' } $Keys | ForEach-Object { $Key = $_.Name $Value = $_.Value if($Value.GetType().Name -eq 'PSCustomObject') { $NestedHashTable = ConvertTo-HashTable $Value $HashTable.add($Key,$NestedHashTable) } else { $HashTable.add($Key,$Value) } } return $HashTable } |
