Some simple PowerShell functions to make creating and editing NetJson files easier.

Right now only the NetGraph and NetCollection objects are supported, I'll add more if/when I can use them.

The New functions all return custom objects that serialize to/from 'json' with valid NetJson schema.

I wanted to make cool network graphs with netjsongraph.js like this:

Create an empty NetGraph.

New-NetGraph -Static -label "My Network"

Create an empty NetGraphNode.

New-NetGraphNode -ID 'pswitch' -Label "Primary Switch"

Attach Nodes to a Graph:

$graph = New-NetGraph -Static -label "My Network"

$graph.nodes += New-NetGraphNode -ID 'router1' -Label "Router" 
$graph.nodes += New-NetGraphNode -ID 'pswitch' -Label "Primary Switch" 

Add links to the graph:

$graph.links += New-NetGraphLink -Source 'router1' -Target 'pswitch' -Cost 0

Export the Graph using the standard ConvertTo-Json cmdlet. The only catch is you need to specify a depth of 5, as the the default depth will populate the properties objects with the type, not the actual object.

$graph | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 | Out-File -FilePath "netgraph.json"

1. help info on the functions.
2. cmdlet binding and pipeline support.
3. maybe some get or add helpers, if needed.
4. more NetJson types?
5. maybe some pester tests?
