Express.js Json Display Format

Question

I am getting json data from mongodb and display it using res.json(data). The result looks like following human readable format.

{
    "glossary": {
        "title": "example glossary"
                 }
}

Is there a way I can display this in raw Json without blank spaces and put them in one line? For example, {"glossary":{"title":"example".....

I find that very surprising (that it's rendering it that way). You might try res.send(JSON.stringify(data)). By default, JSON.stringify doesn't do any formatting.

Gratuitous JSON.stringify example:

var data = {
  "glossary": {
    "title": "example glossary"
  }
};
snippet.log(JSON.stringify(data));
