Note that in Express 4, instead of express.json() and express.urlencoded(), you must require the body-parser module and use its json() and urlencoded() methods, like so :

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));

If the extended option is not explicitly defined for bodyParser.urlencoded(), it will throw a warning (body-parser deprecated undefined extended: provide extended option). This is because this option will be required in the next version and not be optional anymore. For more info on the extended option, please refer to the readme of body-parser.

declare your parsers explicitely, like so :

app.use(express.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({limit: '50mb'}));
