# Serve JSON on a Specific Route

---
## Problem Explanation

It is rather simple to serve a JSON object with Node (at the `/json` route), if we want to deliver an object containing a key `message` and with the value `"Hello json"` we can do so as indicated:

```javascript
app.get("/json", (req, res) => {
  res.json({
    message: "Hello json"
  });
});
```
