In the else block, try returning {"message":"Hello json"} (capital H in hello).

I have tried that but it didn’t work.

Not really sure what is going on I get a CORS block with your project. But if I remix it and add the variable value it works. Not sure but it might be the name of the project (trailing - in the name maybe).

Try renaming the project first. Click the top-left button and in the input at the top, you can write a new name. If that doesn’t work, try remixing it. Again click the top left button and then click “Remix Project”.
