Why $jsonObject = $jsonFileData | ConvertFrom-Json this part

"content_scripts": [
{
  "matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"],
  "css" : ["css/light.css"],
  "js": ["js/content.js"],
  "run_at": "document_end"
}

is converted to this:

"content_scripts":  [
                        {
                            "matches":  "http://*/* https://*/*",
                            "css":  "css/light.css",
                            "js":  "js/content.js",
                            "run_at":  "document_end"
                        }
                    ]

as you may notice, there is no square brackets.

Other parts are okay (there is also unnecessary conversions like '<' to '\u003c' but that's another story).

Pasting all code to make it clear:

$jsonFileData = Get-Content samplemanifest.json
$jsonObject = $jsonFileData | ConvertFrom-Json
$jsonObject.name='2testani2'
$jsonFileDataToWrite = $jsonObject | ConvertTo-Json
$jsonFileDataToWrite | Out-File sample2.json

Maybe someone will shed some light on this?
