If you use Express in node.js, here is the way to send json object as response:

app.get('/test', function(req, res, next) {
  res.json({ message: 'Hello World' });
});

Then in JS on your html page html, if you use jQuery:

$.ajax({
  url: '/test',
  complete: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Feel free to experiment with stuff, as well use Dev Tools in Chrome, experimentation - helps a lot to understand what and how it works.
