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 
are 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 
managed 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.
