I JSON.stringify() any objects that my client scripts need and insert it as HTML5 data-whatever attributes.

For example:

//app.js
app.get('/map', function(req, res){
  var data = {
    id: '1234',
    LL: {
      lat: 42.1,
      lng: 80.8,
  };
  res.locals.docsJSON = JSON.stringify([data]);
  res.render('locations/index');
});

//jade
!!!
html
  body(data-locations=locals.docsJSON)
  script
    var docs = JSON.parse($('body').attr('data-locations'));
    console.log(docs[0].LL);
