If I get the body of a page through the API and I want it in JSON format, I have to ask for `atlas_doc_format` and I get the body as a string, which starts with:

```auto
  "body": {
    "atlas_doc_format": {
      "value": "{\"type\":\"doc\",...

```

To use it I can get `JSON.parse` to transform it:

```auto
  "body": {
    "atlas_doc_format": {
      "value": {
        "type": "doc",
        ...

```

My question is this: how do I get the value for this `value:` key back in the `atlas_doc_format` single string form with the escaped characters (double quotes, maybe more?)?

Boy, I could have realised this sooner.

Use multiple `JSON.stringify` calls, e.g. `JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify(myVar))`…
