node and express send json formatted

Question

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?

Answer 1

try to set the "secret" property json spaces on the Node app.

app.set('json spaces', 2) 

This statement above will produce indentation on json content.
