How can I send a success status to browser from nodejs/express?

Question

I\'ve written the following piece of code in my nodeJS/Expressjs server:

app.post(\'/settings\', function(req, res){
    var myData = {
        a: req.param(\'a\

Just wanted to add, that you can send json via the res.json() helper.

res.json({ok:true}); // status 200 is default

res.json(500, {error:"internal server error"}); // status 500

Update 2015:

res.json(status, obj) has been deprecated in favor of res.status(status).json(obj)

res.status(500).json({error: "Internal server error"});
