function Invoke-TraverseCommand { <# .SYNOPSIS Executes a command using either the Traverse JSON or REST Interfaces .DESCRIPTION This cmdlet executes a Traverse API command and formats the result as a Powershell Custom Object This cmdlet mostly serves as a wrapper around the APIs to make them easier to use. Most of the commands in the Traverse module use this command as the foundation to execute their actions. .NOTES Modeled after Native Powershell functions Invoke-Command and Invoke-Expression. .EXAMPLE Invoke-TraverseCommand 'device.list' Run the device.list command .EXAMPLE Invoke-TraverseCommand 'device.list' Run the device.list command, and show only the resulting object output #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess,DefaultParameterSetName="SessionID")] param ( #The command you wish to execute [Parameter(Mandatory,Position=0)][String]$Command, #A list of arguments to pass with the command, as a hashtable, object array, or JSON string.
