[javascript] Difference between res.send and res.json in Express.js

res.json forces the argument to JSON. res.send will take an non-json object or non-json array and send another type. For example:

This will return a JSON number.

res.json(100)

This will return a status code and issue a warning to use sendStatus.

res.send(100)

If your argument is not a JSON object or array (null,undefined,boolean,string), and you want to ensure it is sent as JSON, use res.json.
