Parsing JSON with PowerShell

Parsing JSON with PowerShell

Published Sep 20 2021 02:25 PM 925 Views

Q: I try to parse my JSON with the handy dandy “ConvertFrom-JSON” cmdlet but it only works in PowerShell 7, not in my good old PowerShell 5.1.  How do I get it to work everywhere? 



A: PS 7 parses JSON a little differently than PS 5.1 by ignoring comments and accepting less than ideal JSON so you need to clean up your JSON for PS 5.1.  Use the function below to do it for you. 



Java Script Object Notation (JSON) is a popular format these days for sending and receiving data with Azure.   JSON is used for sending and receiving data using Azure REST API, deploying resources to Azure using ARM templates, configure governance in Azure using Azure Policy, and much more. PowerShell is a great tool for creating and modifying JSON. PowerShell 7.1 is my preferred solution since it has additional capabilities however sometimes we still need good old PS 5.1 so it is nice to be able to accomplish anything in either version.

First, here is a sample file I’ll use for the example or you can download it from here. 







{ 
    "Accounts": { 
        "Users": [ 
            { 
                "jdoe": { 
                    "givenName": "John", //Out on leave this month  
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Finance" 
                }, 
                "jdoe2": { 
                    "givenName": "Jane", //Department head  
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Marketing" 
                }, 
                "asmith": { 
                    "givenName": "Alice", /* Sits in the corner office */ 
                    "surname": "Smith", 
                    "department": "IT" 
                } 
            } 
        ] 
    } 
}








Alice got promoted so we need to change her department to Senior Leadership.  PowerShell makes it easy to modify JSON by converting JSON to a PSCustomObject.  The object can then be modified easily like any other object.  The object can then be exported back out using ConvertTo-Json. 







$myJson = Get-Content .\test.json -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json 
$myJson.Accounts.Users.asmith.department = "Senior Leadership" 
$myJson | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4 | Out-File .\test.json








This gives a test.json file that accomplished exactly what we wanted: 







{ 
    "Accounts": { 
        "Users": [ 
            { 
                "jdoe": { 
                    "givenName": "John", 
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Finance" 
                }, 
                "jdoe2": { 
                    "givenName": "Jane", 
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Marketing" 
                }, 
                "asmith": { 
                    "givenName": "Alice", 
                    "surname": "Smith", 
                    "department": "Senior Leadership" 
                } 
            } 
        ] 
    } 
}








 Now if we’re on a computer without PowerShell 7.1 we try to run the same command in PowerShell 5.1 but it fails! 







PS> $a = gc .\test.json -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json 
ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid object passed in, ':' or '}' expected. (17161):{ 
<the entire contents of the json file listed here> 
} 
At line:1 char:28 
+ $a = gc .\test.json -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json 
+                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [ConvertFrom-Json], ArgumentException 
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFromJsonCommand








Comments will prevent ConvertFrom-Json from working properly in PowerShell 5.1.  I like to use this simple function to fix my JSON for me. 







Function Remove-Comments{ 
    param( 
        [CmdletBinding()] 
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true,Position=0)] 
        [string] 
        [ValidateScript({test-path $_})] 
        $File 
    ) 
    $CComments = "(?s)/\\*.*?\\*/" 
    $content = Get-Content $File -Raw 
    [regex]::Replace($content,$CComments,"") | Out-File $File -Force 
}








Simply run the following to fix the json file:  







Remove-Comments .\test.json








Now test.json file looks like this: 







{ 
    "Accounts": { 
        "Users": [ 
            { 
                "jdoe": { 
                    "givenName": "John", 
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Finance" 
                }, 
                "jdoe2": { 
                    "givenName": "Jane", 
                    "surname": "Doe", 
                    "department": "Marketing" 
                }, 
                "asmith": { 
                    "givenName": "Alice", 
                    "surname": "Smith", 
                    "department": "IT" 
                } 
            } 
        ] 
    } 
}








 Now that the comments are gone the JSON can be converted into a PSCustomObject using the following just like in PS7: 







$myJson = Get-Content .\test.json -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json








PowerShell is a great tool to use for manipulating JSON which is used throughout Azure.   

Have fun scripting!
