toJSON() does not work on a array full of json objects

UPDATED QUESTION

Im using sails.js v0.10.5

And I'm trying to use sails toJSON() and im trying to delete some stuff from the server before it is sent to the client.

So I have a user look up system where someone can write a name and then Typeaead will query my database using Sails as the backend. Now when the suggestions are sent as an array which includes multiple users as objects.

the returned object is as follows

Sounds like you want to parse your database query results into JSON then you can modified it.

If thats correct you can use JSON.parse()

example:

   var usersJSON = JSON.parse(userModels)
