I am passing an object in Express to a Nunjucks template
app.get('/purchase', function (req, res) {
purchase_data = JSON.stringify(req.query);
res.render('purchase', {"purchase": purchase_data});
})
------------------------
<ul>
{% for key,value in purchase %}
<li>{{key}} | {{value}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
The output is literally each and every letter of the value property. For example: {"quantity": "1"} becomes 0 | { 1 | " 2 | q 3 | u 4 | a 5 | n 6 | t 7 | i 8 | t 9 | y 10 | " 11 | : 12 | " 13 | 1 14 | "
Not that experiences with nunjucks, and for that matter express, but this is a common enough task. In nudge in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

No, you're not. You're passing a string:
purchase_data = JSON.stringify(req.query); // make a string
res.render('purchase', {"purchase": purchase_data}); // pass the string to the template
Instead, just pass the object as-is:
res.render('purchase', { purchase : req.query });
