Function ConvertTo-Hashtable { <# .SYNOPSIS Converts a PSCustomObject into a hashtable for Windows PowerShell .NOTES Author: Adam Bertram Link: https://4sysops.com/archives/convert-json-to-a-powershell-hash-table #> [OutputType([System.Collections.Hashtable])] [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline)] $InputObject ) Process { ## Return null if the input is null. This can happen when calling the function ## recursively and a property is null If ($Null -eq $InputObject) { Return $Null } ## Check if the input is an array or collection. If so, we also need to convert ## those types into hash tables as well.
