Insert multiple records into SQL Server (mssql) in node.js

I am migrating a piece of code from mysql to mssql package of nodejs, in which its required to insert multiple rows.

Here's the sample code I am using for testing:

const db = require('mssql');

let config = {
    user: 'salim',
    password: 'admin',
    server: 'LAPTOP-JK45R', // You can use 'localhost\\instance' to connect to named instance
    database: 'master',
}

var pool;

//initialize connection pool
var connectPool = initializeConnectionPool();

function initializeConnectionPool() {
    pool = new db.ConnectionPool(config);
    pool.on('error', (err) => {
        logger.error(err);
    });

    return pool.connect();;
}

connectPool.then(async () => {
    let connection = await pool.request();
    console.log('Got pool connection...');
    var q = "INSERT INTO Person (name, address) VALUES ?";
    
    var values = [
        ['John', 'Highway 71'],
        ['Peter', 'Lowstreet 4'],
        ['Amy', 'Apple st 652'],
        ['Hannah', 'Mountain 21']
    ];

    let result = await connection.query(q,[values]);

    console.log(`Result: ${JSON.stringify(result)}`);
});

Its giving me error:

RequestError: Incorrect syntax near '?'.

I couldn't find any thing on official npm page of mssql, so I have been trying this: Insert multiple columns and rows into SQL Server with node js

In my code I am just using pool.

I also couldn't find how to log queries using this package, so couldn't figure out what the query is being formed.

It would be great to know any of the solution.
