What is CDXML? CDXML defines mappings between PowerShell cmdlets and CIM class operations. Cmdlet developers use CDXML files to define cmdlets calling a CIM Object Manager server to manage it. A CDXML-based module does not contain code. Instead, it uses a .cdxml file describing how cmdlets query classes and call methods.
CDXML-based PowerShell modules do not ship code for new commands. Instead, a .cdxml file describes how cmdlets can query WMI classes and call WMI methods.
To find CDXML-based modules, search for .cdxml files in your module locations. Two file types use the .cdxml extension: ChemDraw XML File and Cmdlet Definition XML File.
PowerShell cmdlets created from CDXML files use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for remote administration. Programs opening CDXML files include ChemDraw and PerkinElmer.
