When you use Analytics Workbench, the Analytics Service returns a JSON array containing just the query results, separate from the query metrics or the query plan.

When you use the Service API or the cbq Shell, the Analytics Service returns a JSON object, which includes the query results, query metrics, any warnings or errors, and the query plan. These are described on this page.
