Nicely done. Only thing I might suggest is changing the structure of your variants to an array of objects similar to:

[{" colour":"black", "size":"L", "skuid":"222222", "price":"99.99",...},..]

Again, great job

great job , thanks

I am really new with server-side JS, it will help me to link to a JSON format feed to my Schema collections and
display a nice website.

Thanks nice job indeed !

maybe you should add https://www.npmjs.org/package/connect-nocache to prevent caching

I have one question. Web page exist in my web root dir. Web service use 80 port. Nodejs RESTful servcer use 8080. I got ' No Access-Control-Allo-Origin ....'. If data is defined as 'jsonp', i got unexpected token.

very nice thanks

Nicely done, thank you

Nice nontrivial example, thanks!

good job

good job
