How to send JSON to Flash from Node.js

Question

I want a simple example of how to send data from a nodeJS server as JSON to Flash, then Flash decodes the JSON. This is part of what I want:

Server

json = {name : "Person", id: "1"}

Flash

myinput.text = json.id + ":" + json.name

Use AMF.js, which is the subject of a related question which discusses the syntax and debugging process.

On server-side:

app.post('/login', (req, res) => {

    //Some code with error here...

    errorModel = {
        code: 400,
        message: 'Wrong username or password'
    }

    req.flash('error', JSON.stringify(errorModel))
    res.redirect('/login')
})

On client-side (for example using EJS view):

<% if (messages.error) { %>
    <p>
       <%= JSON.parse(messages.error).message %>
    </p>
<% } %>
