Stream from a mongodb cursor to Express response in node.js

Question

I am toying around with all the fancy node.js/mongodb/express platforms, and stumbled across a problem:

app.get(\'/tag/:tag\', function(req, res){
  var tag=         


        

Answer 1

Use the cursor stream in combination with JSONStream to pipe it to your response object.

cursor.stream().pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(res);
