In this article, we would like to show you how to send JSON in response using Express.js.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
app.get('/path/to/endpoint', (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        id: 1,
        name: 'John'
    });
});

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we present how to use res.json() method to send JSON as a response.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
const express = require('express');  // npm install express
​
const app = express();
​
app.get('/path/to/endpoint', (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        id: 1,
        name: 'John'
    });
});
​
app.listen(8080, () => console.log('Server started on port 8080.'));
