angularjs - Parse JSON and show data in Angular -

i have trouble displaying json data in angular. send data backend frontend (angular), cannot display them.

i tried simulate similar situation on jsfiddle, although have prepared data backend

get/send data -> backend side:

//push data redis var messages= json.stringify(     [         {             "name": "msg1",             "desc": "desc msg1"         },         {             "name": "msg2",             "desc": "desc msg2"         },         {             "name": "msg3",             "desc": "desc msg3"         },         {             "name": "msg4",             "desc": "desc msg4"         }     ]);     redisclient.lpush('list', messages, function (err, response) {         console.log(response);     });  //get redis , send frontend app.get('/messages', function(req, res){     // query redis dataset here     redisclient.lrange('list', 0, -1, function(err, messages) {         console.log(messages);        // handle errors if occur        if(err) res.status(500).end();        // send string        res.send(messages);        // or json        // res.json({ data: reply.tostring() });     }); }); 

get data -> frontend (angular)

angular.module('app')     .controller('mainctrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {         'use strict';          getfromserver();         function getfromserver(){           $http.get('/messages')                .success(function(res){                    $scope.messages= res;                    console.log(res);                });         }     }]) 

html part ng-repeat directive:

<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="mainctrl" class="list-group">     <div class="list-group-item" ng-repeat="item in messages">         <h4 class="list-group-item-heading">{{item.name}}</h4>         <p class="list-group-item-text">{{item.desc}}</p>     <div> </div> 

would know problem is?

as far can see, you're storing object json, never parse it. therefore using

$scope.messages = json.parse(res); 

instead of

$scope.messages = res; 

should fix problem.

here working jsfiddle version of yours: https://jsfiddle.net/29y61wtg/5/

note, doesn't include $http call, if you're still having problems after using $http, tell me in comments.
