This is my JS code to receive a Message from Azure Service Bus

function receiveMessage(serviceBusTopic, serviceBusSubscriber, callback) {
  serviceBus.receiveSubscriptionMessage(serviceBusTopic, serviceBusSubscriber,
{ isPeekLock: true }, function (error, lockedMessage) {

if (!error) {
  try {
    const receivedMessage = JSON.parse(lockedMessage.body);
    console.log('receivedMessage', receivedMessage);
    if (!_.isEqual(receivedMessage.Type, messageType.USERPROFILES_USER_UPDATED)) {
      return;
    }
    //Message received and locked
    callback(receivedMessage);
    serviceBus.deleteMessage(lockedMessage, function (deleteError) {
      if (!deleteError) {
        // Message deleted
        console.log('message has been deleted.');
      }
    });
  }
  catch (error) {
    console.log('Start debugging');
    console.log(lockedMessage.body);
  }

When I receive a message it has strange encoding and JSON.parse throws an exception.

The lockedMessage output is:

{ body: '@\fbase64Binary\b3http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/�s\u0002{"Type":"SomeEvent"�\u0001}',
   brokerProperties: 
{ DeliveryCount: 9,
  EnqueuedSequenceNumber: 0,
  EnqueuedTimeUtc: 'Thu, 16 Nov 2017 23:50:16 GMT',
  LockToken: '6e3e311f-0fe9-4366-844d-18046fd000db',
  LockedUntilUtc: 'Fri, 17 Nov 2017 00:10:46 GMT',
  MessageId: 'nil',
  PartitionKey: '1d84084f-65af-4a33-bb30-62d97d85557d',
  SequenceNumber: 61643019899633670,
  SessionId: '1d84084f-65af-4a33-bb30-62d97d85557d',
  State: 'Active',
  TimeToLive: 1566804.069 },
   location: '',
   contentType: 'application/xml; charset=utf-8',
   customProperties: { 'strict-transport-security': NaN, connection: NaN } }

The message is coming from a .NET Core service and that service sends with this code:

            var payload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(SomeEvent);
            var serviceBusMessage = new Message(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payload));
            serviceBusMessage.SessionId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D");
            topicClient.SendAsync(serviceBusMessage).Wait();

Why is Node.js not able to parse the message? Another .NET app can receive the same message without any issues.
