ConvertTo-Json

Short description
Converts an object to a JSON-formatted string

Syntax


Description
The ConvertTo-Json cmdlet converts any object to a string in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. The properties a
re converted to field names, the field values are converted to property values, and the methods are removed.


You can then use the ConvertFrom-Json cmdlet to convert a JSON-formatted string to a JSON object, which is easily manag
ed in Windows PowerShell.


Many web sites use JSON instead of XML to serialize data for communication between servers and web-based apps.


This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
