An update on using the middleware, body-parser, for later versions of Express: Using app.use(express.bodyParser()) will report an error such as: Error: Most middleware (like bodyParser) is no longer bundled with Express and must be installed separately. Please see https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#middleware.

This can be addressed by first installing the body-parser middleware:

npm install body-parser

then write code such as:

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

and then accessing the body of the request object, for example, console.log(req.body)
