Get a list of all xml attributes

I'm making an API call that returns the value in System.Xml.XmlElement, but it looks like this:

  id                       : 5847538497
  ipAddress                : 192.168.110.1
  status                   : RUNNING
  upgradeStatus            : UPGRADED
  upgradeAvailable         : false

Saving this in a local variable myData. How can I print all the attributes of this returned XML?

It works if I type:

> Write-Host myData.id
> Write-Host myData.status

but I don't know all the attributes as api call is dynamic and returns different attributes.

Take a look at the Attributes property on the XmlElement object in question:

$myData.Attributes |ForEach-Object {
    'Name: {0}; Value: {1}' -f $_.LocalName,$_.Value
}

Take a look at the Format-List and the Get-Member cmdlet:

myData | Format-List * -force
myData | Get-Member
