This PowerShell script recursively scans a folder for XML files, converts each file into a structured JSON format, and saves the results to a specified output file. It also captures useful metadata such as file path, creation time, and last modification time.

• 🔍 Recursively parses XML files in a given directory
• 🔄 Converts XML content into nested JSON structures
• 🕒 Captures file metadata (path, creation time, modification time)
• 💾 Outputs a single compressed JSON file
• 🛠️ Gracefully handles malformed XML files

.\parse_tasks.ps1 -inputFolder "C:\path\to\xml\files" -outputFile "C:\path\to\output.json"

1. Recursively scans the input folder for .xml files.
2. Parses each XML file into a dictionary-like structure.
3. Extracts metadata: file path, creation time (UTC), and last modified time (UTC).
4. Serializes the results into a compressed JSON format.
5. Saves the final output to the specified file.

Each entry in the output JSON file includes:

{
  "Path": "C:\\path\\to\\file.xml",
  "Created": "2025-07-07T06:12:34.0000000Z",
  "Modified": "2025-07-07T06:15:00.0000000Z",
  "Task": {
    "RootElement": {
      "ChildElement": "Value",
      "Attributes": "..."
    }
  }
}

• Files that fail XML parsing are skipped with a warning.
• The script continues processing remaining files without interruption.
