Converts an XML node to a PowerShell hashtable.

ConvertFrom-PodeXml [-node] <XmlNode> [-Prefix <String>] [-ShowDocElement] [-KeepAttributes]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

The ConvertFrom-PodeXml function converts an XML node, including all its child nodes and attributes, into an ordered hashtable. This is useful for manipulating XML data in a more PowerShell-centric way.

$node = [xml](Get-Content 'path\to\file.xml').DocumentElement
ConvertFrom-PodeXml -node $node

Converts the XML document's root node to a hashtable.

If set, the function keeps the attributes of the XML nodes in the resulting hashtable.
