## Serve JSON on a Specific Route

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"});
  });
```
