Easiest way to use Qlik JSON requests in nodejs

You could use enigma, qsocks and one of the other libraries. The most straight forward way I have found however is to simply use ws.

const WebSocket = require('ws');

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:4848/app/engineData');

// create a new session:
ws.on('open', function open() {

  ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    "handle": -1,
    "method": "GetDocList",
    "params": {}
  }), function(data, err) {

    console.log('returned data ', data);

  });

});

This way allows you to copy paste out of the engine explorer and get on with your life!!
