I want to get raw json or array of json as query result. Is this possible?

Not sure if there’s any included functionality, but you could easily:

```
const results = query.find()
const jsonResults = results.map((obj) => obj.toJSON());
```

No. I know this. I want directly json. Parse server transform json to ParseObject. I want mongodb result without converting it to parse objects.

I added something similar to the PHP SDK a long time ago. We could add something like  
`query.find({ json: true })` or something similar

Can I use this in cloud code? Same rules apply to js sdk?

Edit: I guess not.

Do you mean this function that you shared? Yes. The SDK in cloud code is the same you use in the client side.

No I meant can I use this(`.find({json:true});`) in cloud code. But seems like js sdk doesnt support it yet.

Yes. The REST API returns a JSON.
