ConvertTo-Hashtable¶
SYNOPSIS¶
Converts an object to a hashtable.
SYNTAX¶
ConvertTo-Hashtable [-InputObject] <PSObject> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Recursively converts an object to a hashtable. This function is useful for converting complex objects to hashtables for serialization or other purposes.
EXAMPLES¶
EXAMPLE 1¶
$object = [PSCustomObject]@{
Name = 'John Doe'
Age = 30
Address = [PSCustomObject]@{
Street = '123 Main St'
City = 'Somewhere'
ZipCode = '12345'
}
Occupations = @(
[PSCustomObject]@{
Title = 'Developer'
Company = 'TechCorp'
},
[PSCustomObject]@{
Title = 'Consultant'
Company = 'ConsultCorp'
}
)
}
ConvertTo-Hashtable -InputObject $object
Output:
Name Value
---- -----
Age 30
Address {[ZipCode, 12345], [City, Somewhere], [Street, 123 Main St]}
Name John Doe
Occupations {@{Title=Developer; Company=TechCorp}, @{Title=Consultant; Company=ConsultCorp}}
This returns a hashtable representation of the object.
