<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Converts an object to a JSON-formatted string and saves the string to a file.
.EXAMPLE
    PS C:\>@{ Property = 'Value' } | Export-JsonArray -Path .\JsonFile.json
    Converts an object to a JSON-formatted string and saves the string to a file.
.INPUTS
    System.Object
.NOTES
    Due to limitations in script functions, there is no way to override the StopProcessing() function or detect the user stopping a command.
    This could leave a file lock on the output file. To release the lock on the file manually either close the PowerShell process or force garbage collection using the command below.
    PS C:\>[System.GC]::Collect()
