Description

Table storage by it's nature is unstructured storage. For example, storing log records is a common usage scenario, but log records can contain a wide variety of properties on the stored object. Displaying a column for each and every property that is encountered makes the output almost unusable. It would be ideal if each "row" could be displayed as raw JSON.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the table-storage row rendering and inspect how properties become columns. Done means users can choose a raw JSON representation for each row, while existing column-oriented display remains usable; add or update coverage for both representations if the project has relevant tests.
