Dynamic values in javascript - Node.js

Question

In node.js i am sending the values to html through

render('/abc', mydata)

"mydata" contains json_encoded format.

And i am reading this as :

{{=mydata}}

Now, in the same html page i have javascript like :

 <script>
 xyz(); 
  function xyz() { 
      // i need to read the "mydata" here.
  }
 </script>

I tried this which didn't work xyz({{=mydata}}) , How can i use that dynamic data in node.js ??

Which view engine is this using? And, what is the result of xyz({{=mydata}}) as seen by the browser? — Jonathan Lonowski

m using express framework. And when i add that xyz({{=mydata}}) i can see an object being printed when i inspect element. But my JS fails to work — sandy

What is the value for app.set('view engine', ???)? Express isn't a view engine itself and the answer will likely vary based on which you're using with Express. — Jonathan Lonowski

When i inspect element, i can see it as [Object object] on this xyz({{=mydata}}

Hey, its working but with a slight change xyz({{=JSON.stringify(mydata)}}). Thank you very much
