PowerShell 7.3 - Difficulty in Serializing Complex Custom Objects to JSON Format
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with PowerShell 7.3 and I'm trying to serialize a complex custom object to JSON, but I'm working with issues with nested properties not being rendered as expected. My custom object has several properties, including nested objects and an array. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```powershell class User { [string]$Name [int]$Age [Address]$Address } class Address { [string]$Street [string]$City } $address = [Address]::new() $address.Street = '123 Main St' $address.City = 'Anytown' $user = [User]::new() $user.Name = 'John Doe' $user.Age = 30 $user.Address = $address $json = $user | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 3 Write-Output $json ``` When I run this, I expect to see a JSON representation of the `User` object including the nested `Address` object, but I get an output that does not reflect the structure accurately. Specifically, the `Address` property appears as `System.Object` instead of showing its properties. I've tried adjusting the `-Depth` parameter, but it doesn’t seem to resolve the scenario. Additionally, when I check the `$json` variable, I get the following output: ``` { "Name": "John Doe", "Age": 30, "Address": {} } ``` I would like to know how to properly serialize nested custom objects to JSON in PowerShell so that I can retain the full structure and property values of my custom classes. Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Powershell on Linux. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
