How to save a JSON object to a file using Powershell?

If you want to both view the output and save it to file, you can pipe the tee command.

Get-Process powershell | ConvertTo-Json |  Tee-Object json.txt

-depth argument for ConvertTo-Json solves the issue.

$jsonRepresentation | ConvertTo-Json -depth 100 | Out-File "D:\dummy_path\file.json"

Just pipe it to Set-Content, or Out-File:

Get-Process powershell |
 ConvertTo-Json | 
 Set-Content json.txt
