I'm trying to send formatted json with express.
Here is my code:
var app = express();
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
users.find({}).toArray(function(err, results){
// I have try both
res.send(JSON.stringify(results, null, 4));
// OR
res.json(results);
});
});
I get the json in my browser but it's a string. How can I send it so it's readable in the browser?
You're going to have to set the Content-Type to application/json like this
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
users.find({}).toArray(function(err, results){
res.header("Content-Type",'application/json');
res.send(JSON.stringify(results, null, 4));
});
});
