								It is rather simple to serve a json object with node (at the '/json' route), if we want to deliver a message and give it the value "Hello World," we can do so like this:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```javascript
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  app.get("/json", function(req, res) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        res.json({"message": "Hello World"});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  });
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
|
