Powershell for JSON - json

Question

I made this script in powershell to collect some information from the computer and I need to export to JSON format with some specifications
$osinfo = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ErrorAction STOP |
Select-Object #{Name='computername';Expression={$_.CSName}};
Write-Host "Computer_INfo:"
$osinfo | ConvertTo-Json
$rede = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ErrorAction STOP | where-object -FilterScript {$_.IPEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object #{Name='Description';Expression={$_.Description}},
#{Name='IP_Address';Expression={$_.IPAddress[0]}};
Write-Host "LAN_INfo:"
$rede | ConvertTo-Json
The result of this command generates this JSON
Computer_INfo:
{
"computername": "DESKTOP-PCJTTEG"
}
LAN_INfo:
[
{
"Description": "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter",
"IP_Address": "192.168.65.241"
},
{
"Description": "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #2",
"IP_Address": "192.168.10.104"
}
]
I wanted it to be this way.
{Computer_Info:
[
{
"computername": "DESKTOP-PCJTTEG"
}
]
},LAN_INfo:{
[
{
"Description": "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter",
"IP_Address": "192.168.65.241"
},
{
"Description": "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter #2",
"IP_Address": "192.168.10.104" }
]
}

You can define the structure for your Json by designing your PSCustomObject in the way you desire. To have arrays, even if you have 1 element, add the #() array constructor. When converted to json, il will transpose to your missing []
Default depth when converting to Json is 4, which can be adjusted up to 100 layers.
In the case of your output, I adjusted it to avoid missing some content in the final output.
Here's your code, with the rendered output you were looking for.
$osinfo = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ErrorAction STOP |
Select-Object #{Name = 'computername'; Expression = { $_.CSName } };
$rede = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -ErrorAction STOP | where-object -FilterScript { $_.IPEnabled -eq $true } |
Select-Object #{Name = 'Description'; Expression = { $_.Description } },
#{Name = 'IP_Address'; Expression = { $_.IPAddress[0] } };
[PSCustomObject]#{
Computer_Info = #(
$osinfo,
#{'LAN_INfo' = $rede }
)
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
