Using the body argument

To explore all of the properties, we're going to look at a way to pretty print our objects. This is going to require a really simple function call, a function we've actually already used, JSON.stringify. This is the function that takes your JavaScript objects, which body is, remember we used the json: true statement to tell request to take the JSON and convert it into an object. In the console.log, statement we'll take that object, pass body in, and provide the arguments as shown here:

const request = require('request');request({  url: 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1301%20lombard%20street%20philadelphia',  json: true}, (error, response, body) => {  console.log(JSON.stringify(body));});
