Convert XML to PSObject

Note: I\'m using ConvertTo-XML and cannot use Export-Clixml:

I create a simple PSObject:

$a = New-Object PSObj

My variant with unlimited depth.

See examples.

function ConvertFrom-Xml {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Converts XML object to PSObject representation for further ConvertTo-Json transformation
.EXAMPLE
    # JSON->XML
    $xml = ConvertTo-Xml (get-content 1.json | ConvertFrom-Json) -Depth 4 -NoTypeInformation -as String
.EXAMPLE
    # XML->JSON
    ConvertFrom-Xml ([xml]($xml)).Objects.Object | ConvertTo-Json
#>
    param([System.Xml.XmlElement]$Object)

    if (($Object -ne $null) -and ($Object.Property -ne $null)) {
        $PSObject = New-Object PSObject

        foreach ($Property in @($Object.Property)) {
            if ($Property.Property.Name -like 'Property') {
                $PSObject | Add-Member NoteProperty $Property.Name ($Property.Property | % {ConvertFrom-Xml $_})
            } else {
                if ($Property.'#text' -ne $null) {
                    $PSObject | Add-Member NoteProperty $Property.Name $Property.'#text'
                } else {
                    if ($Property.Name -ne $null) {
                        $PSObject | Add-Member NoteProperty $Property.Name (ConvertFrom-Xml $Property)
                    }
                }
            } 
        }   
        $PSObject
    }
}
