Roger ol buddy ol pal, hope all is well my friend :)
I recommend using express and bodyparser middleware for basic setup of your mini app displaying your json.
To get the json file's content :
var foo = require('./path/to/your/file.json');
To send the json to your view:
function getJson(req, res, next){
res.send(foo);
}
While this will work, do take note that require calls are cached and will return the same object on each subsequent call. Any change you make to the .json file when the server is running will not be reflected in subsequent responses from the server.
