Can I somehow write an object to the json file, and not a string?

Question

Node.js

fs.writeFileSync('file.json', data);
If data is JSON.stringify() , then the string is written to file.json. If you open such a file, it cannot be read without a beautifier.
If data is JSON.parse() , then '[object Object]' is written to file.json. I would like to somehow write the object itself, ala outerHTML.
Maybe use some other module?

Alternatively, you can use the same JSON.stringify , but with additional parameters:

fs.writeFileSync('file.json', JSON.stringify(data, null, '\t'));
