Description

Currently, only format "json" will cause query results to be parsed into individual items. All other formats are returned as entire pages, requiring the caller to parse pages of results.

Short of more comprehensive support for all (or most) query formats, at the very least parse all umm_json* formats, so instead of returning a list of pages from a query, return a list of the items.

Research direction

Start by tracing how query results are handled for the json format and compare that path with the other umm_json* formats. Confirm the resulting query value contains individual items rather than whole pages, and add or update coverage for each supported umm_json* format.
