Importing a CDATA string literal from a JSON array into PowerShell - json

Question

So I have a XML value extractor for a large rule database.
I stored the values in a Json file with sections for each file and then the values tied to their names.
However some of the values are a CDATA Snippet.
I can pull the CDATA as a string literal to store in the Json but I CANNOT seem to find a way to get power shell to let me put it back into the XML.
Cannot set "Value" because only strings can be used as values to set XmlNode properties.
At C:\Users\vagrant\Desktop\RuleSetter.ps1:24 char:21
+ $rule.value = $ruleFileSet. ($singleRuleXmlFile.directory.nam ...
+
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], SetValueException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : XmlNodeSetShouldBeAString`
The Getter looks like this
$directories = Get-ChildItem -dir -path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
foreach($instName in $directories){
if($instName -notlike 'client' -and $instName -notlike 'bin'-and $instName -notlike 'aspnet_client'-and $instName -notlike 'AccessLibertyLogs'){
$obj = [hashtable]#{}
$head = [hashtable]#{Institution = $instName}
$obj.Add('head',$head)
$files = Get-ChildItem C:\inetpub\wwwroot\$instName\filepath -Include Rules.XML -Recurse
$files |
ForEach-Object {
[xml]$temp = Get-Content -path $_.FullName
[string]$title = $_.Directory.name
[hashtable]$output = #{}
foreach($rule in $temp.RuleCollection.Rules.Rule){
$t = ""
if($rule.value -isnot [string]){
$t = $rule.value.innerXml
}else{
$t = $rule.value
}
$output.Add($rule.name,$t)
}
$obj.Add($title,$output)
}
$transfer = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $obj
$location = "C:\Users\vagrant\desktop\json\" + $instName + ".Json"
$transfer | ConvertTo-Json -Compress | Out-file -FilePath $location
}
}
And the Setter like this
Param(
[string]$location,
[string]$ruleConfigFileLocation)
$allInstConfigFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users\vagrant\Desktop\json\
foreach($singleInstFile in $allInstConfigFiles) {
$instaName = $singleInstFile.BaseName
$allRuleXmlFileList = Get-ChildItem C:\inetpub\wwwroot\$instaName\Liberty \Applications\Origination\Configuration -Include Rules.XML -Recurse
ForEach($singleRuleXmlFile in $allRuleXmlFileList) {
[xml]$singleRuleXmlFileContents = Get-Content -path $singleRuleXmlFile.FullName
$singleInstFileContent = Get-Content $singleInstFile.FullName | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach($ruleFileSet in $singleInstFileContent){
foreach($rule in $singleRuleXmlFileContents.RuleCollection.Rules.Rule){
#write-host $ruleFileSet.($singleRuleXmlFile.directory.name).($rule.name)
if($ruleFileSet.($singleRuleXmlFile.directory.name).($rule.name) -as [xml])
{
$rule.value = $ruleFileSet.($singleRuleXmlFile.directory.name).($rule.name).OuterXml
write-host 'skipped'
}else{
write-host 'not skipped'
$rule.value = $ruleFileSet.($singleRuleXmlFile.directory.name).($rule.name)
}
}
}
}
}
