It would be nice if PowerShell had object serialization and deserialization functions built into the language or standard library, similar to the Common Lisp read and print functions.

This would make it possible for PowerShell to interoperate with other command line facilities.

Does `ConvertTo-Json` and `ConvertFrom-Json` not handle what you want?

Awesome. Thank you for letting me know about those. I have been using bash and Perl for many years, but have only dabbled in PowerShell since almost all of my work happens on Linux.

I am bookmarking those because I expect to have to use PowerShell for some automation tasks on Windows in the near future.
