Convert JSON to plist use PowerShell
Question
convert JSON to plist have many ways, The most convenient is to use commands under the apple system, or to use online generation tools, But PowerShell does not provide direct commands, I found a project in GitHub, which can be easily converted for simple JSON, But for some slightly complex JSON, there will be some problems after conversion
project Address: https://github.com/msftrncs/PwshJSONtoPList
Existing problems:
Some arrays were not converted correctly
I recorded a video demo https://www57.zippyshare.com/v/krihd4Y8/file.html

powershell Script code:
. '.\ConvertTo-PList.ps1' # Put ConvertTo-PList.ps1 in the same directory
Get-Content "test.json" | ConvertFrom-Json |
ConvertTo-Plist -Indent "`t" -StateEncodingAs 'UTF-8' |
Set-Content 'Generated.plist' -Encoding 'UTF8'

The version I see here also has a -Depth parameter.
If I use that on your json and set the Depth to 4 (or higher) with
$json | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Plist -Indent "`t" -StateEncodingAs 'UTF-8' -Depth 4
it produces this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
