I am trying to show the json data on the html page. The data on the server shows me json data but when i try to show it on page it gives me this data

"_isScalar":false,"source":"_isScalar":false,"source":"_isScalar":false,"source":"_isScalar":true,"value":"url":"https://feeds.citibikenyc.com/stations/stations.json","body":null,"reportProgress":false,"withCredentials":false,"responseType":"json","method":"GET","headers":"normalizedNames":,"lazyUpdate":null,"headers":,"params":"updates":null,"cloneFrom":null,"encoder":,"map":null,"urlWithParams":"https://feeds.citibikenyc.com/stations/stations.json","scheduler":null,"operator":"concurrent":1,"operator":,"operator":

my code for getting the data is

import HttpClient from '@angular/common/http';
import Injectable from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class GetdataService
posts : any;
readonly ROOT_URL ="https://feeds.citibikenyc.com/stations/stations.json";
constructor(private http: HttpClient )

getPosts()


this.posts = this.http.get(this.ROOT_URL );

return JSON.stringify(this.posts);

this.http.get() doesn't return data but rather an observable, that you have to subscribe to:

this.http.get()

getPosts()
this.http.get(this.ROOT_URL)
.subscribe((data) =>
//DO STUFF HERE
);

Secondly, while it shouldn't be needed to decode JSON after you fix the observable-stuff, you decode json with JSON.parse() not JSON.stringify. stringify converts the object into string (the exact opposite of what you wanted).

JSON.parse()

JSON.stringify

stringify
