对于问题的头部分，我要喊出res。在这里输入:

res.type('json')

等于

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')

来源:express docs:

将Content-Type HTTP报头设置为MIME类型，由MIME .lookup()为指定类型确定。如果type包含“/”字符，则它将Content-Type设置为type。

如果你试图发送一个json文件，你可以使用流

var fs = require('fs');

var usersFilePath = path.join(__dirname, 'users.min.json');

apiRouter.get('/users', function(req, res){
    var readable = fs.createReadStream(usersFilePath);
    readable.pipe(res);
});

你可以为此创建一个helper:创建一个helper函数，这样你就可以在应用程序的任何地方使用它

function getStandardResponse(status,message,data){
    return {
        status: status,
        message : message,
        data : data
     }
}

这是我的主题路线，我试图得到所有的主题

router.get('/', async (req, res) => {
    const topics = await Topic.find().sort('name');
    return res.json(getStandardResponse(true, "", topics));
});

我们得到的回应

因为Express.js 3x响应对象有一个json()方法，它为你正确设置所有的头，并以json格式返回响应。

例子:

res.json({"foo": "bar"});

如果你正在使用Express，你可以使用这个:

res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
res.send(JSON.stringify({key:"value"}));

或者只是这样

res.json({key:"value"});

您可以使用管道和许多处理器中的一个来美化它。你的应用应该总是响应尽可能小的负载。
