Answer 1

First cut the HTML table part of the string

const a = ... //the json object  
const b = a.description._text.indexOf('<table')
const c = a.description._text.indexOf('</table>')
const d = a.description._text.slice(b,c+8)
console.log(d)

Then use some html json converter such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/html2json
