<# .SYNOPSIS Recursively normalizes a value into a form suitable for Dictionary[string, object]. .DESCRIPTION Recursively normalizes a value into a form suitable for Dictionary[string, object]. - Unwraps PSObject shells - Converts IDictionary to Dictionary[string, object] - Converts IEnumerable (except string) to List[object] - Primitives and POCOs are returned as-is .PARAMETER Value The value to normalize. .PARAMETER Depth Current recursion depth to prevent infinite loops. .PARAMETER MaxRecursionDepth Maximum recursion depth. Defaults to 8. .OUTPUTS The normalized value or $null if the input is $null or could not be normalized. .NOTES Limits recursion depth to 8 levels. #> function _NormalizeValueToDictionary([object]$Value, [int]$Depth, [int]$MaxRecursionDepth = 8) { if ($null -eq $Value) { return $null } if ($Depth -gt $MaxRecursionDepth) { return ($Value.ToString()) } # Unwrap PSObject shell if ($Value -is [System.Management.Automation.PSObject]) { $base = $Value.BaseObject if ($null -eq $base -or $base -eq $Value) { return $Value.ToString() } return _NormalizeValueToDictionary $base ($Depth + 1) } # Hashtable / IDictionary → new Dictionary[string, object] if ($Value -is [System.Collections.IDictionary]) { $out = [System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[string, object]]::new() foreach ($key in $Value.Keys) { if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace([string]$key)) { continue } $nv = _NormalizeValue $Value[$key] ($Depth + 1) if ($null -ne $nv) { $out[[string]$key] = $nv } } return $out } # Enumerable (but not string) → List<object> if ($Value -is [System.Collections.IEnumerable] -and -not ($Value -is [string])) { $list = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[object] foreach ($item in $Value) { $list.Add((_NormalizeValueToDictionary $item ($depth + 1))) } return $list } return $Value # primitive / POCO } |
