Guides Responses

Serve JSON

Return objects to serve JSON responses. Primate automatically serializes returned objects to JSON.

Objects are JSON-serialized; use response.json() for granular control.

Primate sets Content-Type: application/json on returned objects and serializes them to JSON strings.

TypeScriptroutes/api.ts

import route from "primate/route";

route.get(() => ({ message: "Hello", data: [1, 2, 3] }));

Use response.json() for custom options.

TypeScriptroutes/index.ts

import response from "primate/response";
import route from "primate/route";

route.get(() => response.json({ error: "Not found" }, { status: 404 }));
