Here is my snippet please take a look

var args = {
    data: formData,
    headers:{"Content-Type": "application/json"}
};

client.post(hubURL, args, function(data,response) {
      // parsed response body as js object 
      console.log(data, "data in client post");
});

and formData is a proper valid json what am doing wrong

The Buffer should be converted to a String 

client.post(baseUri + "tradingpartners/",args, function (data, response) {
    // parsed response body as js object
  console.log(data.toString('utf8'));
});

The data you are getting is a Buffer. Try converting it to string like bellow.

if(Buffer.isBuffer(data)){
    data = data.toString('utf8');
}
console.log(data);

This is data formatting issue, you are getting data in Buffer format and you want it in String format.

You can explicitly do the conversion.

You can use toString() of the Buffer, which will convert Buffer format into String format. Refer

var yourStringData = data.toString('utf8');
