You want to render the JSON as part of a HTML page with other content? You're going to need a template engine with your express application.

EJS is decent (https://github.com/visionmedia/ejs) as is Jade. I've included a sample of EJS below.

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.render('xyz', {
    jsondata: YOUR_JSON
  });
});

// xyz.ejs
<% if (jsondata) { %>
  <pre><%= jsondata %></pre>
<% } %>

I assume you are using express, since you have app.get. In that case just use the json method on the response object:

app.get("/list/json", function(req, res) {
    res.json(fus.listjson);
});
