More clarification on the send method for the response object

Hey everyone!

Wanted to get some clarification on the send method for the response object. Andrew mentions it in this video and it is part of a coding challenge coming up.

Even though I passed the coding challenge, I'm still unsure about what the method actually does. I've read the express docs and still feel confused.

I think it's something to do with the parsing of incoming data to certain data types? i.e JSON?

Some further explanation would be great!

Thanks, Jiten.
