# JSON formatter
The CSV formatter presents [results of database queries](../../queries) in the following formats:
| format | content type | description|
|:----:|:----------:|:----------|
| `json` | application/json | return the query result as a json object|
| `jsonp` | application/json | return the query result as a JSONP javascript callback|
| `datatable` | application/json | return the query result as a Google `datatable`|
| `datasource` | application/json | return the query result as a Google Visualization Provider `datasource` javascript callback|
The CSV formatter respects the following API `&options=`:
| option | supported | description|
|:----:|:-------:|:----------|
| `google_json` | yes | enable the Google flavor of JSON (using double quotes for strings and `Date()` function for dates|
| `objectrows` | yes | return each row as an object, instead of an array|
| `nonzero` | yes | to return only the dimensions that have at least a non-zero value|
| `flip` | yes | to return the rows older to newer (the default is newer to older)|
| `seconds` | yes | to return the date and time in unix timestamp|
| `ms` | yes | to return the date and time in unit timestamp as milliseconds|
| `percent` | yes | to replace all values with their percentage over the row total|
| `abs` | yes | to turn all values positive|
| `null2zero` | yes | to replace gaps with zeros (the default prints the string `null`|
## Examples
To show the differences between each format, in the following examples we query the same
chart (having just one dimension called `active`), changing only the query `format` and its `options`.
> Using `format=json` and `options=`
```bash
# curl -Ss 'https://registry.my-netdata.io/api/v1/data?chart=nginx_local.connections&after=-3600&points=6&group=average&format=json&options='

[ 1540641600, 241.0966667]

}
```
> Using `format=json` and `options=objectrows`
