Create variable with mutiples tables

Question

Hello,

I do not know how to phrase that question correctly so I will try with example.

Here is the JSON example of what I'd like to recreate in PowerShell format:

[
    {
        id : "001",
        name : "apple",
        category : "fruit",
        color : "red"
    }, 
...
]

I am not sure if it's possible to do the same in PowerShell.

Thanks,
Steven

Answer 1

Hello,

I found the answer.

$CLIENTTABLE = [ordered]@{
client = @{
name = ("HELLO",'WORLD')
ipaddress = ("1.1.1.1",'2.2.2.2')}}

Thanks,
Steven

I don't think you found the correct answer . . . not if your original question had the structure you're after. Try this instead:

$CLIENTTABLE1 = @(
    [ordered]@{
                name = "HELLO"
                ipaddress = "1.1.1.1"
              },
    [ordered]@{
                name = "WORLD"
                ipaddress = "2.2.2.2"
              }
)
$CLIENTTABLE1 | ConvertTo-Json

That produces this:

[
    {
        "name":  "HELLO",
        "ipaddress":  "1.1.1.1"
    },
    {
        "name":  "WORLD",
        "ipaddress":  "2.2.2.2"
    }
]
