What is JSON to PowerShell Converter?
Need to generate PowerShell objects from your JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data? This tool does that instantly. Perfect for PowerShell developers working with automation, system administration, or Windows scripting who need to deserialize JSON into PowerShell objects. Generate PowerShell hashtables, arrays, and object structures automatically.
According to PowerShell documentation, ConvertFrom-Json is the standard way to handle JSON in PowerShell. Our converter analyzes your JSON structure and generates proper PowerShell objects. First, validate your JSON using our JSON Validator, then convert it to PowerShell. You can also format your JSON with our JSON Formatter first if needed.
Everything happens in your browser – your JSON never leaves your computer. Convert, download, and use your PowerShell code right away.
What Makes This Tool Different
Automatic Object Generation
We analyze your JSON structure and automatically generate PowerShell hashtables and arrays. JSON objects become hashtables, arrays become arrays, everything gets proper PowerShell syntax.
Hashtable Support
Generate PowerShell hashtables with proper @{} syntax. Perfect for PowerShell's native data structures and ConvertFrom-Json compatibility.
Variable Assignment
Configure variable names for your PowerShell objects. Generate code that's ready to use in your PowerShell scripts immediately.
File Upload Support
Got a big file? Just upload it. Works great for converting those massive JSON configs or data files without copy-pasting.
Download PowerShell
One click to download your PowerShell script. Drop it into your PowerShell environment and start using it. Perfect for automation and system administration.
Clean Code Output
The generated PowerShell code is clean and well-formatted. Objects are properly structured and follow PowerShell conventions.
How It Works
Paste or Upload JSON
Paste your JSON into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. The JSON should be valid – use our JSON Validator first if you're not sure. You can also click "Sample" to see an example.
Configure Options
Set your variable name. These settings customize the generated PowerShell code to match your script's conventions.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the PowerShell script, or "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. The PowerShell code is ready to use. Paste it into your PowerShell session or script file.
When You'd Actually Use This
System Administration
Generate PowerShell objects from JSON configs for system administration scripts. Create data structures for JSON-based configurations or API responses. Perfect for Windows automation.
API Integration
Create PowerShell objects from JSON API responses. Generate data models for REST APIs or web services. Perfect for PowerShell API clients.
Configuration Management
Generate PowerShell code from JSON configuration files. Convert JSON configs to PowerShell hashtables for easier management in PowerShell scripts.
Automation Scripts
Generate PowerShell objects from JSON data structures. Perfect for creating data models, configuration objects, or data definitions from JSON schemas.
Common Questions
Is my JSON data stored?
Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your JSON never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.
How are JSON objects handled?
JSON objects become PowerShell hashtables. Properties become hashtable keys, and nested objects become nested hashtables. Arrays become PowerShell arrays.
Can I use the generated PowerShell code?
Yes. The generated PowerShell code is valid and ready to use. Paste it into your PowerShell session or script file and start using it. You may want to review and refine the objects for your specific use case.
What about ConvertFrom-Json?
The generated PowerShell code uses native PowerShell hashtables and arrays. You can also use ConvertFrom-Json to parse JSON strings into PowerShell objects directly.
Does it work with large JSON files?
Yep. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small to medium JSON structures convert instantly. Really huge structures might take a few seconds.
What PowerShell version is supported?
The generated code works with PowerShell 3.0 and later. It uses standard PowerShell features and follows PowerShell conventions for maximum compatibility.
