Express.js turn off views only display JSON

Is there a way in Express.js/Node to disable the view engine and only return JSON? The app I am working on will always return JSON

var jsonData = [{
   "id": 1,
   "email": "[email protected]"
},{
   "id": 2,
   "email": "[email protected]"
}];

and do this res.json(jsonData), you don’t need any view engine.

Sample code:

var express = require('express'),
    router = express.Router();

router.get('/api/users', function(req, res){
    res.json(jsonData);
});
