The JSON format
This flag (activated by passing in format: Bard.JSON in the config object) is used in Bard.ask() and Chat.ask().
Use this flag to get more information about the return request from Bard.

What the array in images above is consisted of
| Property Name | Type | Description |

tag | string | What tag the Markdown image is associated with. |
url | string | An URL of the image linked to Google image servers. This has been cropped by Bard. |

Usually it should not be necessary to use the JSON flag, but it can be used for some certain scenarios, especially if you want to extend this library in some way.
