Read remote file with node.js (http.get)

Question

Whats the best way to read a remote file? I want to get the whole file (not chunks).

I started with the following example

var get = http.get(options)         


        

Answer 1

function(url,callback){
    request(url).on('data',(data) => {
        try{
            var json = JSON.parse(data);    
        }
        catch(error){
            callback("");
        }
        callback(json);
    })
}

You can also use this. This is to async flow. The error comes when the response is not a JSON. Also in 404 status code .
