my web server js code below , following have provided directory structure. looks routing problem i'm not able what's wrong.

i looking serve json file using node.

var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var events = require('./eventscontroller'); var app = express(); var rootpath = path.normalize(__dirname + '/../'); console.log(__dirname); var bodyparser = require('body-parser');  app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({extended: true})); app.use(bodyparser.json()); app.use(express.static( rootpath + '/app'));   app.get('data/event/:id',events.get); app.post('data/event/:id',events.save);  app.listen(8000); console.log('listening on port ' + 8000 + '...') 

directory structure

demoapp  app   css   data     event       1.json       2.json  scripts     node_modules     eventscontroller     web-server 

eventcontroller sample code

var fs = require('fs');  module.exports.get = function(req, res) {     var event = fs.readfilesync('app/data/event/' + req.params.id + '.json', 'utf8');     res.setheader('content-type', 'application/json');     res.send(event); }; 

your problem way you've defined routes, need leading /

// incorrect app.get('data/event/:id',events.get); app.post('data/event/:id',events.save);  // correct app.get('/data/event/:id',events.get); app.post('/data/event/:id',events.save); 

one more comment on how you're reading file. wouldn't use fs.readfilesync() within route. block entire server handling requests/responding until reading file complete. instead use async version , respond callback of fs.readfile().

module.exports.get = (req, res) => {     fs.readfile('app/data/event/' + req.params.id + '.json', 'utf8', (err, json) => {       // if error occurred reading file       // send 500 internal server error       if (err) return res.sendstatus(500);        // return json response       // automatically sets content-type application/json       return res.json(json);     }); };
