I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

Hello, @kadarsh115, The challenge asked you to use hello json. Not hello world. That is why it won’t be pass

" The response object should become {"message": "HELLO JSON"} ."

declare ‘response’ inside the handler function
