Responding with a JSON object in Node.js (converting object/array to JSON string)

Question

I\'m a newb to back-end code and I\'m trying to create a function that will respond to me a JSON string. I currently have this from an example

function rando

You have to use the JSON.stringify() function included with the V8 engine that node uses.

var objToJson = { ... };
response.write(JSON.stringify(objToJson));

Edit: As far as I know, IANA has officially registered a MIME type for JSON as application/json in RFC4627. It is also is listed in the Internet Media Type list here.
