    Did you mean:
    const movies=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("movies.json", "utf-8"));
    instead of

    const movies=JSON.parse=fs.readFileSync("movies.json", "utf-8");?

    For future reference, you should probably put your error in the post instead of linking to elsewhere.

    Parse the data into Json.parse(), which returns from the fs.readFileSync() method.

    const express=express();
const app=express();
const fs=require("fs");
const movies=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("movies.json", "utf-8"));
app.get("/api/vi/movies", (req, res)=>{
    res.status(200).json({
      status: "success", 
      data: {
        movies: movies
      }
    })
})
app.listen(3000, "127.0.0.1", ()=>{
console.log("Connecting ...");
});
