Formatting response JSON data using AngularJS & ExpressJS

Question

I have to sent a post request to my node server running localhost:3001. I successfully completed the request and getting the post data in node server but the data is poorly formatted.

AngularJS:

function MyCtrl1($scope,$http,$location) {     
    $scope.user = { };
    $scope.login = function() { 

    $http.post("http://localhost:3001/login", 
                $scope.user,
                {'Content-Type':  'application/json'}).success(function(result) {
                    $scope.resultPost = result;
                    $location.path('/');

                }).error(function() {
                    console.log("error");
                });
    };
}

Nodejs:

app.post('/login', function(req,res) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(req.body));

    res.end('ok');
});

log : {"{\"username\":\"test\",\"password\":\"pass123\"}":""}

is there any way to get a formatted data here?

I think your want JSON.parse(str);

You can use JSON.parse() to parse the body to JavaScript object.

var obj = JSON.parse(req.body);
var username = obj.username;
var password = obj.password;

@Nish If it is successfully converted to object, then you can just access the field using dot notion. Updated the answer.
