Ajax fetching HTML not SQL results from node.js - node.js

Question

I am trying to send my sql query results from node.js to my html. When I log it in the console it shows the correct data, but once I add it to the "res.send" in a stringified format and try to retrieve it with ajax in index.html the object I get doesn't have the data, just my entire HTML code.
I've tried changing my ajax to many different things I found online but nothing changes. I've tried changing POST to GET, changing the url (which just breaks it), only using success and not complete (which results in no object coming through).
node.js code excluding server code:
var sql = require('mssql/msnodesqlv8');
var config = {
connectionString: 'Driver=SQL Server;Server=NAME-PC\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=master;Trusted_Connection=true;'
};
sql.connect(config, err => {
new sql.Request().query('SELECT * FROM Companies', (err, result) => {
console.log("Works");
if(err) { // SQL error, but connection OK.
console.log(" Error: "+ err);
JSON.stringify(err);
} else { // All good.
console.dir(result);
JSON.stringify(result);
app.get('/', function data(req, res, next) {
res.send(JSON.stringify(result))
})
};
});
});
sql.on('error', err => { // Connection bad.
console.log("Bad");
console.log(" Error: "+ err);
});
HTML Ajax code:
<script>
jQuery.support.cors = true;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: 'json',
url: '/',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
complete: function(data) {
console.log(data);
},
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
</script>
The object I end up with has a responseText that has all of the HTML code. Any idea what I am doing wrong that the response isn't my data?
