Hi Andy,
Rows is not a JavaScript object per se it is a component which can not be transferred to a JSON formatted sting. You can/should access the data by the included methods.
This is why the send method fails.
You can pick the relevant data by using the methods in a new object and send this back to the runtime.
Here is an example for the cell component
So your error is not directly related to the loopback issue - your error is caused by trying to convert a component to a json string.
