Reading json file and update json file in powershell

There are some cases we need to update json files using powershell.

This is how I do it.

	$filePath = "C:\jeevan\sample.json"
	$file = ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($filePath) | ConvertFrom-Json)
	Write-Host $file.property1
	$file.property1 = Get-Random
	$file | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File -FilePath $filePath -Encoding utf8 -Force

I used following json file

	{
	"property1": 123,
	"property2": "value2"
	}
