Azure Table Storage JSON Returns Array Per Entry Instead of Single Array

I need to parse an output of JSON from Azure Table Storage. I am able to retrieve the data, but the JSON retuned appears to give me an array per entry of data instead of an expected single array. NOTE: a true array should have the [] around it, so I am unsure on how to output/display this data as I can't seem to reach the values nested.

My call to the table to get results is as follows:

var options = { payloadFormat: "application/json;odata=nometadata" };
tableService.queryEntities('myTable', tableQuery, null, options, function(error, result, response) {
        if(!error) {
        console.log(response.body.value);
    }

Ex. I expect this per https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazurestorage/2013/12/05/windows-azure-tables-introducing-json/:

"value":[
   {
      "PartitionKey":"Jonathan",
      "RowKey":"Foster",
      "Timestamp":"2013-12-03T06:45:00.7254269Z",
      "Address":"1234 SomeStreet St, Bellevue, WA 75001",
      "Email":"[email protected]",
      "PhoneNumber":"425-555-0101",
      "CustomerSince":"2005-01-05T00:00:00Z",
      "Rating":3
   },
   {
      "PartitionKey":"Lisa",
      "RowKey":"Miller",
      "Timestamp":"2013-12-03T06:45:00.8834427Z",
      "Address":"4567 NiceStreet St, Seattle, WA 54332",
      "Email":"[email protected]",
      "PhoneNumber":"425-555-0101",
      "CustomerSince":"2003-01-05T00:00:00Z",
      "Rating":2
   },
   {
      "PartitionKey":"Walter",
      "RowKey":"Harp",
      "Timestamp":"2013-12-03T06:45:00.5384082Z",
      "Address":"1345 Fictitious St, St Buffalo, NY 98052",
      "Email":"[email protected]",
      "PhoneNumber":"425-555-0101",
      "CustomerSince":"2010-01-05T00:00:00Z",
      "Rating":4
   }
]
}

But I am getting this:

{value: Array(8)}
value: Array(8)
0: {PartitionKey: "Client1", RowKey: "1", Timestamp: "2019-06-05T14:07:08.5541163Z", Location: "eastus", OSType: "WindowsServer", …}

You're asking for the raw json string, but that library call is giving you the parsed json object. If you want the string, just call JSON.stringify() on the object: 

var str = JSON.stringify(response.body.value);

The source for the TableService.queryEntities is at https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-node/blob/1e315487b8801b8357b8974c7d925313cb143483/lib/services/table/tableservice.js#L811
