Node JS Tutorial for Beginners #18 - Serving JSON Data

Yo gang, in this Node JS tutorial for beginners I'll show you how we can serve JSON data to the client / browser. This is useful when handling AJAX requests from JavaScript which runs client-side, and to provide some kind of API end-point.

1:31, You're sense of humor plays a considerable role in why I watch your videos. :D

[jaafarbalaghi]

Thank you very much. The most important feature of this course is that the prerequisites are told in order, this makes the course very understandable.

The tutorials are of high quality. I don't understand one thing: there are 124 488 views of this particular video and only 1.3k of likes, and 5 dislikes. Where are the others? Is it so difficult to put like for such a good stuff?

[legendaryknight]

How signifcant is the content type when serving up JSON? It looks like the browser renders the same thing with text/plain and application/json

[paulbrugger]

Great course. Why do I have to stop the node server, then restart it (node app), then refresh the page to see changes?
OK, nodemon in lesson 22. So, our server is just 'static'? It never re-examines the component files?

[geekybot]

//guys ignore this
const fs = require('fs');

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type' : 'application/json'});
var myObj = { name: 'Ryu', job: 'Ninja', age: 29 };

// this method expects an buffer or string hence it is casted to string
