},
{
"name": "dog",
"age": "2",
"lovely": false,

- Convert this json file content to psobject and then convert it back to write it to another file
$o=(Get-Content -Raw D:\Test_Convert.json | ConvertFrom-Json)
Set-Content 'D:\result.json' ($o | ConvertTo-Json)

"children": [
{
"name": "mimi",

"lovely": true,
"height": 20
},
{
