Sending a JSON file to Express server using JS

Question

I am fairly new to JS and I have a JSON file that I need to send to my server (Express) that I can then parse and use its contents throughout the web app I\'m building.

Answer 1

Read the file first and then send the json to the client.

fs.readFile('file_name.json', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  obj = JSON.parse(data);
  res.send(JSON.stringify(obj));
});
