	-ScriptDefinition 'Param([Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$true)][psobject] $Item); End {$input |ConvertTo-Json}'

    From the documentation for $input:

    In the end block, the $input variable enumerates the collection of all input to the function.

    Note

    You can't use the $input variable inside both the process block and the end block in the same function or script block.
