Body Parser

Purpose​

This middleware is used to handle parsing of incoming JSON and URL-encoded bodies in Express.js. It simplifies request body parsing for APIs.

Key Features​

  • Parses JSON bodies automatically using the body-parser package.
  • Parses URL-encoded form data automatically.
From the creator

Remember, if you decide you no longer need a middleware, simply delete the file. Out of necessity, out of existence!

Customization​

You can configure the extended option for URL-encoded data:

  • extended: true allows for rich objects and arrays to be encoded.
  • extended: false allows for simple key-value pairs.
